tipc: eliminate delayed link deletion at link failover
When a bearer is disabled manually, all its links have to be reset and deleted. However, if there is a remaining, parallel link ready to take over a deleted link's traffic, we currently delay the delete of the removed link until the failover procedure is finished. This is because the remaining link needs to access state from the reset link, such as the last received packet number, and any partially reassembled buffer, in order to perform a successful failover. In this commit, we do instead move the state data over to the new link, so that it can fulfill the procedure autonomously, without accessing any data on the old link. This means that we can now proceed and delete all pertaining links immediately when a bearer is disabled. This saves us from some unnecessary complexity in such situations. We also choose to change the confusing definitions CHANGEOVER_PROTOCOL, ORIGINAL_MSG and DUPLICATE_MSG to the more descriptive TUNNEL_PROTOCOL, FAILOVER_MSG and SYNCH_MSG respectively.
