Jon Paul Maloy 662921cd0a tipc: merge link->exec_mode and link->state into one FSM
Until now, we have been handling link failover and synchronization
by using an additional link state variable, "exec_mode". This variable
is not independent of the link FSM state, something causing a risk of
inconsistencies, apart from the fact that it clutters the code.

The conditions are now in place to define a new link FSM that covers
all existing use cases, including failover and synchronization, and
eliminate the "exec_mode" field altogether. The FSM must also support
non-atomic resetting of links, which will be introduced later.

The new link FSM is shown below, with 7 states and 8 events.
Only events leading to state change are shown as edges.
