Martin Willi 3df3af8eb7 bus: Prevent redundant down event on rekeyed CHILD_SA delete timeout
If a CHILD_SA is rekeyed using a CREATE_CHILD_SA request, a subsequent
DELETE for the old CHILD_SA may time out. Before sending this DELETE,
a CHILD_REKEYED state CHILD_SA set from child_rekey::process_i() is
immediately set to CHILD_DELETING from child_delete::build_i(). If the
IKE_SA dies due to a retransmission timeout of this DELETE, a redundant
child-down event is issued for the rekeyed CHILD_SA that has already seen a
child-rekey event.

A reproducer shows the following log and events:

    [CFG] vici rekey CHILD_SA #533
    [IKE] establishing CHILD_SA XXX{534} reqid 20
    [ENC] generating CREATE_CHILD_SA request 0 [ N(REKEY_SA) SA No KE TSi TSr ]
    [ENC] parsed CREATE_CHILD_SA response 0 [ SA No TSi TSr ]
    [IKE] rekeyed CHILD_SA XXX{533} with SPIs ca997de6_i cd27d4fe_o with XXX{534} with SPIs ced1cd01_i c460a7c9_o
     Event: child-rekey
      [OLD SA] state: REKEYING, spi-in: ca997de6
      [NEW SA] state: INSTALLED, spi-in: ced1cd01
    [IKE] closing CHILD_SA XXX{533} with SPIs ca997de6_i (352 bytes) cd27d4fe_o (264 bytes) and TS 0.0.0.0/0 === 10.11.9.40/29
    [IKE] sending DELETE for ESP CHILD_SA with SPI ca997de6
    [ENC] generating INFORMATIONAL request 1 [ D ]
    [IKE] retransmit 1 of request with message ID 1
    [IKE] retransmit 2 of request with message ID 1
    [IKE] retransmit 3 of request with message ID 1
    [IKE] retransmit 4 of request with message ID 1
    [IKE] giving up after 4 retransmits
     Event: child-updown
      [SA] state: DELETING, spi-in: ca997de6
     Event: child-updown
      [SA] state: INSTALLED, spi-in: ced1cd01

To prevent the redundant child-down event for the successfully rekeyed CHILD_SA,
check if a DELETING CHILD_SA has already removed its outbound state due to
having been rekeyed before issuing the child-down event.

Add a new exchange test exercising that a delete timeout after rekeying does
not cause a duplicate child-down event.
