    pluto: unify the IKEv1 and IKEv2 XAUTH/PAM threading code
    
    So that they have consistent behaviour when creating and
    canceling asynchronous threads:
    
    - for IKEv1, this eliminates the use of SIGINT (which debuggers
      like to use), and fixes a problem with creating threads
    
    - for IKEv2, this fixes a race when canceling threads.
    
    Known issues:
    
    - a canceled PAM request likely STILL leaks resources
    
    - IKEv1 password auth requests were moved to the main thread
      (followed by a thread shuffle to preserve behaviour) so
      that they didn't leak resources
    
    Thanks to Muhammad Tameem Iftikhar of SurfEasy.com for stress
    testing the changes; and Hugh for helping with the analysis.

    xauth: fix IKEv2 call to xauth_start_pam_thread()

commit c72b9e250d3ecb7b6b44e00fa01ed3118872310f
Author: Andrew Cagney <cagney at gnu.org>
Date:   Tue Jul 25 18:58:46 2017 -0400

    xauth: pthread_cancel(), pthread_cleanup_push(), and the main-thread when cleaning up
    
    Perform the cleanup in an event handler running on the main-thread
    (scheduled by the XAUTH thread as it exits).
    
    For file (password) authentication, perform everything on the main-thread
    (but then fudge an XAUTH event).

    pluto: make xauth/PAM code less hairy
    
    - delete dead code: handling case where st_jbuf_t's ptr field is NULL
    
    - fix alloc_st_jbuf() bug noticed by Andrew
    
    - don't assume that an absolute pointer into st_jbuf_mem survives realloc
      (replace pointer with index)
    
    - move setting of st field of st_jbuf_mem element into locked region

    IKEv1: use SIGUSR1, and not SIGINT, to cancel the xauth thread
    
    GDB and pluto end up fighting over SIGUSR1.  A useful command is:
      (gdb) handle SIGUSR1 nostop print pass

commit 2b0e5c20df24bf2516175adcbf8654d67a75316e
Author: Andrew Cagney <cagney at gnu.org>
Date:   Fri Jul 21 13:45:27 2017 -0400

    IKEv2: put the xauth thread into the cancel-enable state
    
    and not PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS which is really
    PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE.
    
    This reduces the odds but doesn't eliminate a race between
    the cancel code deleting stuff on the heap and the cancelled
    thread dying.  It also causes pam resources to be leaked.
