ZeroMQ currently supports location independent addressing using TIPC
Port Names with tipc://{type,instance}. This commits adds support for
connecting and binding using TIPC Port Identity addresses. To connect
using Port Identities the expected format is tipc://<Z.C.N:Ref>, e.g.
"tipc://<1.2.3:123123>". To bind using TIPC Port Identities the expected
format is "tipc://<*>".
Of course people still "can" distributed the sources under the
LGPLv3. However we provide COPYING.LESSER with additional grants.
Solution: specify these grants in the header of each source file.
As TIPC transport for 0MQ will only work on post 3.8
Linux kernels where nonblocking connect was added,
we add AC_RUN test to check for this functionality.
Should the test fail, tipc is excluded from build/test.

A ZeroMQ application can opt for TIPC based sockets
using the TIPC port name format:
zmq_bind(sb, "tipc://{type,lower,upper}");
zmq_connect(sc, "tipc://{type,inst}");
'type' is the service ID, and 'lower/upper' can be
used for service partitioning or basic load
balancing.
ZeroMQ TIPC transport requires a kernel >= 3.8
(nonblocking connect support for TIPC).
