DHCP servers will respond to port 67 if giaddr is non-zero, which we set
if we are not broadcasting. While such messages are received fine via
RAW socket the kernel will respond with an ICMP port unreachable if no
socket is bound to that port. Instead of opening a dummy socket on port
67 just to avoid the ICMPs we can also just operate with a single
socket, bind it to port 67 and send our requests from that port.
Since SO_REUSEADDR behaves on Linux like SO_REUSEPORT does on other
systems we can bind that port even if a DHCP server is running on the
same host as the daemon (this might have to be adapted to make this work
on other systems, but due to the raw socket the plugin is not that portable
anyway).
The main difference is that ping now reports icmp_seq instead of
icmp_req, so we match for icmp_.eq, which works with both releases.
tcpdump now also reports port 4500 as ipsec-nat-t.
Some fetcher plugins (such as curl) might build upon OpenSSL to implement
HTTPS fetching. As we set (and can't unset) threading callbacks in our
openssl plugin, we must ensure that OpenSSL functions don't get called after
openssl plugin unloading.
We achieve that by loading curl and all other fetcher plugins after the base
crypto plugins, including openssl.
