This commit fixed what 6d99b602 was supposed to fix without affecting
interface-bound traffic.
Before 6d99b602 interface-bound traffic was working normally as long
as at least one interface was online. However when the last interface
went offline, it was impossible to ping and such state was
unrecoverable.
Commit 6d99b602 fixed unrecoverable offline state problem (it was
possible to ping -I iface) but messed inteface-bound traffic. Traffic
with interface source address was not working if the interface was in
"offline" state, even if another interface was online.
The problem was caused by an inconsistent "offline" interface state:
iptables-related rules were kept while routing table and policy were
deleted.
The idea behind this commit is to:
1. Keep all the rules for each interface (iptables, routing table,
policy) regardless of its state. This ensures consistency,
2. Make interface state hotplug events affect only iptables'
mwan3_policy_* rules. Interface-related iptables, routing table
and policy is removed only when mwan3 is manually stopped.
To make such changes possible, it's necessary to change the way
mwan3_policy_* rule generator keeps track of interface state hotplug
events.
Until now, it checked for the existence of custom interface-related
routing table (table id 1, 2, 3, ...). Clearly we can no longer rely
on that so each interface state is stored explicitly in file.

To know how old the ubus output is, add an age parameter which indicats
how old the check informations on the interface are.

If two interface have the same prefix "wan" for example "wan" and "wan1"
pgrep returns the PID for wan1 also "pgrep -f mwan3track wan".
Before this fix "wan1" was also killed! This is not what we want.

If mwan3track will not stop immediately after sending the kill signal,
the clean_up handler will delete the pid file later while the new mwan3track is
already running.
This could result in a situation that mwan3track is running
more then once because the old mwan3track service could not be killed,
because the pid file is missing.
Using pgrep to kill all mwan3track for the tracked interface and not using
pid file should fix this issue.
