This configuration section uses the new BasicConfig interface that supports
key-value pairs in the section. Some exposition is added to the example cfg
file. The new settings for overlay are related to the Hub and Spoke feature
which is currently in development. Production servers should not set
these configuration options, they are clearly marked experimental in the
example cfg file.

The MultiSocket is obsolete technology which is superceded by a more
straightforward, template based implementation that is compatible with
boost::asio::coroutines. This removes support for the unused PROXY handshake
feature. After this change a large number of classes and source files may be
removed.
Previously, the PeerFinder manager constructed with a Callback object
provided by the owner which was used to perform operations like connecting,
disconnecting, and sending messages. This made it difficult to change the
overlay code because a single call into the PeerFinder could cause both
OverlayImpl and PeerImp to be re-entered one or more times, sometimes while
holding a recursive mutex. This change eliminates the callback by changing
PeerFinder functions to return values indicating the action the caller should
take.
As a result of this change the PeerFinder no longer needs its own dedicated
thread. OverlayImpl is changed to call into PeerFinder on a timer to perform
periodic activities. Furthermore the Checker class used to perform connectivity
checks has been refactored. It no longer uses an abstract base class, in order
to not type-erase the handler passed to async_connect (ensuring compatibility
with coroutines). To allow unit tests that don't need a network, the Logic
class is now templated on the Checker type. Currently the Manager provides its
own io_service. However, this can easily be changed so that the io_service is
provided upon construction.
