Fixed the FTP server read stuff when waiting for a connect after a PASV/EPSV.

Made the ftp server use the passed in pidfile name, and made runtests.pl
pass it in properly.

fix the server for the slow response case

Make sure there's no pidfile if we cannot start the initial sockfilt tool -
this happens for some ipv6-enabled hosts on which sockfilt cannot listen
on ipv6.

basic signal handler for sigint and sigkill

kill slave processes when they fail

allow some more time

Modified the FTP server to use the new 'sockfilt' program to do all the socket
level stuff. The FTP server communicates with sockfilt using perl's open2().
This enables easier IPv6 support and hopefully FTP-SSL support in the future.
Added four test cases for FTP-ipv6.

Made the server send data to the control/data connections using two dedicated
functions. This enabled me to add a function that automatically delays between
each byte, to proper test curl's ability to read FTP server responses sent in
many (small) chunks. See also upcoming libcurl fixes...

Make the server ignore the given PORT address, to make it possible to test
curl's -P option easier.

A minor "syntax error" in numerous test files corrected

Support file names passed to RETR that don't start with a number. In that
case, all non-numeric prefixing letters are cut off to figure out the test
number.

add support for NOOP

support the new --id command line option, that allows a second (or third or
whatever) instance to run without overwriting the previous' logfiles

log client disconnects

Provide support for "transferring" zero bytes FTP files and comparing that
the output file actually is zero bytes after the transfer.

new daring features, not used by any current test

skip the pid from the logging

When waiting for the second connect, we now use alarm to timeout the waiting.
This is necessary in case the client never connects or somehow fails to do
it timely. The timeout used now is only 2 seconds, which might cause problems
on really slow hosts but longer times are painful when doing torture testing
on FTP test cases.

I'm not sure how this 'alarm' functionality works on Windows or other systems
that don't actually have the alarm() function.

changed the logging to work when the logfile is removed during testing

change the log format to look similar to sws
added various logging info

Report the correct size when 'verifiedserver' is requested.

added the ever-present source header

runtests.pl now provides the srcdir to the ftpserver so that it can pass
that to loadtest properly.
