mptcpd 0.7

- MPTCP path management generic netlink events recently added to the
  upstream Linux kernel are now supported, and propagated to mptcpd
  plugins.  The same API is also found in the multipath-tcp.org
  kernel.  Differences between the two kernels are transparent to
  mptcpd plugins.

- Mptcpd now supports the upstream Linux kernel server-oriented
  MPTCP_PM_CMD_SET_FLAGS generic netlink command through the new
  mptcpd_pm_set_flags() function.  It allows the user to set MPTCP
  flags for a specific local IP address.

- An incorrect buffer size calculation when calling
  mptcpd_pm_add_addr() when using an IPv6 addresses on platforms
  running the upstream Linux kernel was corrected.

- An "operation not supported" error that occurred when attempting to
  retrieve MPTCP resource limits through the mptcpd_pm_get_limits()
  function was fixed.

- A network interface lookup problem in the "sspi" plugin was
  corrected.

- Building mptcpd against ELL 0.39 is now supported.
