single test.
- stime: Test 3 variants
- sigpending: Test 3 variants
- select04: Test 4 variants
* Various fixes for Android Bionic libc (both build and runtime) and musl libc
are included in this release

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS
================================
brought to you by Peter Vorel
* New testcases
- ipsec: test also randomized message length
- features: new checksum testcases
- virt: add mode l3s in ipvlan test
- netstress: support SO_REUSEPORT, MSG_ZEROCOPY
* Various tests converted into new API
- (arping01, broken_ip, clockdiff01, ip_tests.sh, ping0{1|0}, tracepath, traceroute)
* Various small fixes and enhancements, most notable ones:
- dhcp: correct prefix for expected IPv6 address)
- lower down packet size to minimum, which still be high enough to require
fragmentation. This is critical for performance tests, which compare
virtual devices with the real ones.
- netstress: various fixes to avoid false-positives
- dhcp: AppArmor and SELinux fixes, fix paths for non-RHEL distros
