Optimizes the creation of a returned payload message by duplicating
the original message and then updating the small number of fields
that need to be adjusted, rather than building the new message header
from scratch. In addition, certain operations that are not always
required are relocated so that they are only done if needed.
These optimizations also have the effect of addressing other issues
that were present previously:
1) Fixes a bug that caused the socket send routines to return the
size of the returned message, rather than the size of the sent
message, when a returnable payload message was sent to a non-existent
destination port.
2) The message header of the returned message now matches that of
the original message more closely. The header is now always the same
size as the original header, and some message header fields that
weren't being initialized in the returned message header are now
populated correctly -- namely the "d" and "s" bits, and the upper
bound of a multicast name instance (where present).

Revises the algorithm governing the sending of link request messages
to take into account the number of nodes each bearer is currently in
contact with, and to ensure more rapid rediscovery of neighboring nodes
if a bearer fails and then recovers.
The discovery object now sends requests at least once a second if it
is not in contact with any other nodes, and at least once a minute if
it has at least one neighbor; if contact with the only neighbor is
lost, the object immediately reverts to its initial rapid-fire search
timing to accelerate the rediscovery process.
In addition, the discovery object now stops issuing link request
messages if it is in contact with the only neighboring node it is
configured to communicate with, since further searching is unnecessary.

Rework TIPC's message sending routines to take advantage of the total
amount of data value passed to it by the kernel socket infrastructure.
This change eliminates the need for TIPC to compute the size of outgoing
messages itself, as well as the check for an oversize message in
tipc_msg_build(). In addition, this change warrants an explanation:
- res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, 0);
+ res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, bytes_to_send);
Previously, the final argument to send_packet() was ignored (since the
amount of data being sent was recalculated by a lower-level routine)
and we could just pass in a dummy value (0). Now that the
recalculation is being eliminated, the argument value being passed to
send_packet() is significant and we have to supply the actual amount
of data we want to send.

Replaces the dynamically allocated array of pointers to the cluster's
node objects with a static hash table. Hash collisions are resolved
using chaining, with a typical hash chain having only a single node,
to avoid degrading performance during processing of incoming packets.
The conversion to a hash table reduces the memory requirements for
TIPC's node table to approximately the same size it had prior to
the previous commit.
In addition to the hash table itself, TIPC now also maintains a
linked list for the node objects, sorted by ascending network address.
This list allows TIPC to continue sending responses to user space
applications that request node and link information in sorted order.
The list also improves performance when name table update messages are
