MEDIUM: proxy: add a new proxy_find_best_match() function
This function tries to spot a proxy by its name, ID and type, and
in case some elements don't match, it tries to determine which ones
could be ignored and reports which ones were ignored so that the
caller can decide whether or not it wants to pick this proxy. This
will be used for maintaining the status across reloads where the
config might have changed a bit.

+/* Finds the best match for a proxy with capabilities <cap>, name <name> and id
+ * <id>. At most one of <id> or <name> may be different provided that <cap> is
+ * valid. Either <id> or <name> may be left unspecified (0). The purpose is to
+ * find a proxy based on some information from a previous configuration, across
+ * reloads or during information exchange between peers.
+ *
+ * Names are looked up first if present, then IDs are compared if present. In
+ * case of an inexact match whatever is forced in the configuration has
+ * precedence in the following order :
+ * - 1) forced ID (proves a renaming / change of proxy type)
+ * - 2) proxy name+type (may indicate a move if ID differs)
+ * - 3) automatic ID+type (may indicate a renaming)
+ *
+ * Depending on what is found, we can end up in the following situations :
+ *
+ * name id cap | possible causes
+ * -------------+-----------------
+ * -- -- -- | nothing found
+ * -- -- ok | nothing found
+ * -- ok -- | proxy deleted, ID points to next one
+ * -- ok ok | proxy renamed, or deleted with ID pointing to next one
+ * ok -- -- | proxy deleted, but other half with same name still here (before)
+ * ok -- ok | proxy's ID changed (proxy moved in the config file)
+ * ok ok -- | proxy deleted, but other half with same name still here (after)
+ * ok ok ok | perfect match
+ *
+ * Upon return if <diff> is not NULL, it is zeroed then filled with up to 3 bits :
+ * - 0x01 : proxy was found but ID differs (and ID was not zero)
+ * - 0x02 : proxy was found by ID but name differs (and name was not NULL)
+ * - 0x04 : a proxy of different type was found with the same name and/or id
+ *
+ * Only a valid proxy is returned. If capabilities do not match, NULL is
+ * returned. The caller can check <diff> to report detailed warnings / errors,
+ * and decide whether or not to use what was found.
