Work around a new Windows issue where the call to list the local network interfaces takes for freaking ever to return, blocking the UDP thread altogether.

Maintain a list of address/port pairs instead of a address/port map.

Prevent shutdown ordering crashes

This mechanism automatically queues data into the correct thread where necessary, otherwise the method is invoked directly with low overhead.

At the same time remove the UDP socket event workaround. It is not a problem.

There are many ways of iterating over lists in C++/Qt.
In the specific case of QStrings, it is known [1] that using
foreach with const references avoids the creation of new
QString objects in each iteration, reducing the time consumed
by the loops.

- Pervasive change to automatically connect to known board types
- Lots of additional changes along with this:
- More exposure of objects/properties to Qml
- Much restructuring in LinkManager and LinkManager clients

Fix the corner case of a system running on localhost using the network and the loopback address in parallel. Force it onto the loopback interface.
