5b06c85c3b tipc: Cosmetic cleanup of topology service code
This patch contains a set of cosmetic changes to TIPC's network
topology service subsystem, including:

- updates to comments (including copyright dates)
- re-ordering structure fields to group them more logically
- removal of optional debugging code that is no longer required
- minor changes to whitespace to conform to Linux coding conventions

28353e7fad tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port references
This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it
only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber
connection, rather than two.  This is achieved by letting the
reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber
act as the reference to the subscriber object itself.  (Since
the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa,
this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.)  This
consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50%
in the default configuration.

8e9501f518 tipc: Add support for customized subscription endianness
This patch enables TIPC's topology server code to do customized
endianness conversions on a per-subscription basis.  (This
capability is needed to support the upcoming consolidation of
subscriber and subscription object references.)

e15f880409 tipc: Add support for customized subscription overlap handling
This patch enables TIPC's topology server code to do customized
overlap detection handling on a per-subscription basis.  (This
capability is needed to support the upcoming introduction of
multi-cluster TIPC networks.)
