All routers except the binlogrouter now fully implement the JSON
diagnostic entry point. The binlogrouter needs to be handled in a separate
commit as it produces a large amount of diagnostic output.
As 'client' is the fake DCB that emulates a client session,
poll.thread.id for the "dummy client" must be set to the current
thread_id that calls blr_start_master()
This affects both startup and START SLAVE (via mysql client)
A module can now declare a path parameter for a directory that does not
yet exist. If the directory does not exist, MaxScale will create the
directory with the requested permissions.
When log messages are written with both address and port information, IPv6
addresses can cause confusion if the normal address:port formatting is
used. The RFC 3986 suggests that all IPv6 addresses are expressed as a
bracket enclosed address optionally followed by the port that is separate
from the address by a colon.
In practice, the "all interfaces" address and port number 3306 can be
written in IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation as 0.0.0.0:3306 and in IPv6
notation as [::]:3306. Using the latter format in log messages keeps the
output consistent with all types of addresses.
The details of the standard can be found at the following addresses:

The binlogrouter error handling closed the DCB twice. This was caused by
the change in the way the DCB error handling is done.
The protocol modules now also call the error handling routine even if the
router session is NULL. This enables the binlogrouter to manage
authentication failures correctly instead of trying to reconnect again.
The static module capabilities are now used to query the capabilities of
filters and routers. The new RCAP_TYPE_NOAUTH capability is also taken
into use. These changes removes the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
The static capabilities declared in getCapabilities allows certain
capabilities to be queried before instances are created. The intended use
of this capability is to remove the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
Both the listeners and servers now support IPv6 addresses.
The namedserverfilter does not yet use the new structures and needs to be
fixed in a following commit.
The routers no longer need to track the number of errors each DCB
receives. This is now done by the protocol modules.
The type of the DCB no longer needs to be checked in the handleError
implementation as the function is only called when a backend DCB fails.
