James Yonan 662bf7833e ovpn3 core : Added automatic data limits for Blowfish,
Triple DES, and other 64-bit block-size ciphers vulnerable
to "Sweet32" birthday attack (CVE-2016-6329).  Limit such
cipher keys to no more than 64 MB of data
encrypted/decrypted.  While our overall goal is to limit
data-limited keys to 64 MB, we trigger a renegotiation
at 48 MB to compensate for possible delays in renegotiation
and rollover to the new key.

This client-side implementation extends data limit
protection to the entire session, even when the server
doesn't implement data limits.

This capability is advertised to servers via the a
peer info setting:

  IV_BS64DL=1

meaning "Block-Size 64-bit Data Limit".  The "1" indicates
the implementation version.

The implementation currently has some limitations:

* Keys are renegotiated at a maximum rate of once per
  5 seconds to reduce the likelihood of loss of
  synchronization between peers.

* The maximum renegotiation rate may be further extended
  if the peer delays rollover from the old to new key
  after renegotiation.

Added N_KEY_LIMIT_RENEG stats counter to count the number
of data-limit-triggered renegotiations.

Added new stats counter KEY_STATE_ERROR which roughly
corresponds to the OpenVPN 2.x error "TLS Error:
local/remote TLS keys are out of sync".

Prevously, the TLS ack/retransmit timeout was hardcoded to
2 seconds.  Now we lower the default to 1 second and make
it variable using the (pushable) "tls-timeout" directive.
Additionally, the tls-timeout directive can be specified
in milliseconds instead of seconds by using the
"tls-timeout-ms" form of the directive.

Made the "become primary" time duration configurable via
the (pushable) "become-primary" directive which accepts
a number-of-seconds parameter.  become-primary indicates
the time delay between renegotiation and rollover to the
new key for encryption/transmission.  become-primary
defaults to the handshake-window which in turn defaults
to 60 seconds.

Incremented core version to 3.0.20.
