Andreas Steffen 7c5a2974b9 testing: Reorganizing IKEv1 and IKEv2 examples
For documentation purposes the new folders ikev1-algs, ikev2-algs,
ikev1-multi-ca and ikev2-multi-ca have been created. Most of the
test cases have now been converted to the vici interface. The
remaining legacy stroke scenarios yet to be converted have been put
into the ikev2-stroke-bye folder.

For documentation purposes some legacy stroke scenarios will be kept
in the ikev1-stroke, ikev2-stroke and ipv6-stroke folders.

The roadwarriors <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b> set up a connection each to gateway <b>moon</b>
and request a <b>virtual IP</b> via the IKEv2 configuration payload by using the <b>leftsourceip=%config</b>
parameter. The <b>dhcp</b> plugin on gateway <b>moon</b> then requests an IP address and DNS/WINS server
information from DHCP server <b>venus</b> using the DHCP protocol. The IP addresses are assigned statically
by <b>venus</b> based on the user-defined MAC address derived by the <b>dhcp</b> plugin from a hash over
the client identity. This deterministic MAC generation is activated with the strongswan.conf setting
<b>charon.plugins.dhcp.identity_lease = yes</b>.
<p/>
With the static assignment of 10.1.0.30 and 10.1.0.40, respectively, <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b>
become full members of the subnet 10.1.0.0/16 hidden behind gateway <b>moon</b>. And this thanks to
the <b>farp</b> plugin through which <b>moon</b> acts as a proxy for ARP requests e.g. from <b>alice</b>
who wants to ping <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b>.
