- Support upgrading to Libreswan 4.9.
- Compilation of Libreswan 4.9 on Ubuntu 18.04 requires newer
versions of NSS packages. They are installed in a similar way
as apply_ubuntu1804_nss_fix in ikev2setup.sh.

- For IKEv2 mode, add a new variable VPN_CLIENT_VALIDITY for specifying
the client certificate validity period (in months). Must be an integer
between 1 and 120. Default value is 120. Users can define it as an
environment variable when setting up IKEv2 in auto mode, or when
adding a new IKEv2 client using "--addclient".
- Improve security by removing support for modp1536 (DH group 5),
which is less secure and rarely used by VPN clients. To do this,
we specify modp2048 on the "ike=" line in ipsec.conf.
- Improve security by removing support for modp1024 (DH group 2),
which is less secure and no longer enabled in Libreswan by default.
- The native VPN client on Android devices uses modp1024 for the
IPsec/L2TP and IPsec/XAuth ("Cisco IPsec") modes. After this change,
Android users should instead connect using IKEv2 mode (recommended).
- Instead of finding the server's public IP, use the IP address
on the default route if it is not a private IP. This makes VPN
setup slightly faster by skipping IP detection.
- Add a fallback URL for finding the server's public IP.
- Cleanup
- Only enable TCP BBR congestion control if the server's Linux kernel
version is 4.20 or newer.
- BBR requires the "fq" qdisc for older kernels < 4.20. That setting
may not take effect on existing network interfaces without a reboot.
