[ANNOUNCE] iproute2 5.8

[Stephen Hemminger]

Time for a new version of iproute2 to go with the 5.8 kernel.
There are couple of administrative changes that long term downloaders
will notice. First it that iproute2 is now maintained on the "main"
branch. There are parallel copies (both updated) on kernel.org
and github.

If you use github, you will get the right default branch;
if you use kernel.org you will get the WRONG default branch.
Kernel.org still does not have an way to change the name of the
default branch. The "master" branch is dead and will be
removed once kernel.org is fixed. If you have an existing
iproute2 git repo either or clone a new copy or
see one of many tutorials on renaming the master branch.

The other change is that the former date based internal
versioning (snapshot) is replaced by the regular version numbering
which corresponds to the kernel version. Iproute2
carries its own sanitized version of the kernel headers so the
current code will build and run on older kernel releases.

It is recommended to always use the latest iproute2.
Do not treat iproute2 like perf and require matching packages.
The latest code will always run on older kernels (and vice versa);
this is possible because of the kernel API/ABI guarantees.
Except for rare cases, iproute2 does not do maintenance releases
and there is no long term stable version.
