This introduces interfaces to represent the packet forwarding
mechanism, and brings all the scattered UDP-related code together into
a single implementation.
This is not a pure refactoring, although much of the code in sleeve.go
has been copied from pre-existing code, and the UDP protocol remains
the same in spirit. The biggest change is the organization of the
forwarder goroutines (there is now one instead of two, and that
goroutine does a lot of auxiliary work as well as forwarding).
Performance testing between VMs on my laptop suggests that packet
throughput has not gone down, and may even have improved slightly.
This commit adds two command line options, intended to allow multiple
instances of weave to run without container separation between them.
* -port=PORT makes weave bind to port PORT (an integer). Without the
option, the default value (6783) is used.
* -httpaddr=ADDRESS makes weave bind its control interface to
a different address. For instance "127.0.0.1:6784" can be used to
bind to localhost only. An absent address element makes it bind to
all interfaces. ":6784" is the default. An empty string
can be used to disable the control interface.
