client-kill management interface command, when issued on server, will
now send a RESTART message to client.
This feature is intended to make UDP clients respond the same as TCP
clients in the case where the server issues a RESTART message in
order to force the client to reconnect and pull a new options/route
list.

Added the ability for the server to provide a custom reason string
when an AUTH_FAILED message is returned to the client. This
string can be set by the server-side managment interface and read
by the client-side management interface.

references to "client-reason-text".

Eliminated the limitation on the number of options that can be pushed
to clients, including routes. Previously, all pushed options needed
to fit within a 1024 byte options string.
Remember that to make use of this feature to allow many routes to
be pushed to clients, the client config file must specify the
max-routes option, and the number of pushed routes cannot exceed
this limit. Also, both server and client must include this commit.

The maximum number of "route" directives (specified in the config
file or pulled from a server) can now be configured via the new
"max-routes" directive.
Previously, the limit was set to 100 and fixed by a compile-time
constant. Now the limit is dynamic and can be modified by the
"max-routes" directive. If max-routes is not specified, the default
limit is 100.
Note that this change does not address the maximum size of the
pushed options string sent from server to client, which is still
controlled by the TLS_CHANNEL_BUF_SIZE compile-time constant.

Modified client to send a PUSH_REQUEST message to server 1 second
after connection initiation rather than 0 seconds after.
Successive PUSH_REQUEST messages after the first will continue to be
sent at 5 second intervals until a response is received. This tends
to speed up the client connection sequence by 4 seconds because the
first PUSH_REQUEST message is usually sent too soon and is dropped,
causing a wait of 5 seconds until the next PUSH_REQUEST message is
sent.

Added new 'autolocal' redirect-gateway flag. When enabled, the OpenVPN
client will examine the routing table and determine whether (a) the
OpenVPN server is reachable via a locally connected interface, or (b)
traffic to the server must be forwarded through the default router.
Only add a special bypass route for the OpenVPN server if (b) is true.
If (a) is true, behave as if the 'local' flag is specified, and do not
add a bypass route.
The new 'autolocal' flag depends on the non-portable test_local_addr()
function in route.c, which is currently only implemented for Windows.
The 'autolocal' flag will act as a no-op on platforms that have not
yet defined a test_local_addr() function.
Increased TLS_CHANNEL_BUF_SIZE to 2048 from 1024 (this will allow for
more option content to be pushed from server to client).

2.1_rc8 and earlier did implicit shell expansion on script
arguments since all scripts were called by system().
The security hardening changes made to 2.1_rc9 no longer
use system(), but rather use the safer execve or CreateProcess
system calls. The security hardening also introduced a
backward incompatibility with 2.1_rc8 and earlier in that
script parameters were no longer shell-expanded, so
for example:
client-connect "docc CLIENT-CONNECT"
would fail to work because execve would try to execute
a script called "docc CLIENT-CONNECT" instead of "docc"
with "CLIENT-CONNECT" as the first argument.
This patch fixes the issue, bringing the script argument
semantics back to pre 2.1_rc9 behavior in order to preserve
backward compatibility while still using execve or CreateProcess
to execute the script/executable.
