// OVERVIEW
//
// You have some control over session configuration through the session::apply_settings()
// member function. To change one or more configuration options, create a settings_pack
// object and fill it with the settings to be set and pass it in to session::apply_settings().
//
// The settings_pack object is a collection of settings updates that are applied
// to the session when passed to session::apply_settings(). It's empty when
// constructed.
//
// You have control over proxy and authorization settings and also the user-agent
// that will be sent to the tracker. The user-agent will also be used to identify the
// client with other peers.
//
// Each configuration option is named with an enum value inside the
// settings_pack class. These are the available settings:

// list of names will be used to bind outgoing TCP sockets in a
// round-robin fashion. An IP address will simply be used to `bind()`
// the socket. An interface name will attempt to bind the socket to
// that interface. If that fails, or is unsupported, one of the IP
// addresses configured for that interface is used to `bind()` the
// socket to. If the interface or adapter doesn't exist, the
// outgoing connection will failed with an error message suggesting
// the device cannot be found. Adapter names on Unix systems are of
// the form "eth0", "eth1", "tun0", etc. This may be useful for
// clients that are multi-homed. Binding an outgoing connection to a
// local IP does not necessarily make the connection via the
// associated NIC/Adapter.
outgoing_interfaces,
// a comma-separated list of (IP or device name, port) pairs. These are
// the listen ports that will be opened for accepting incoming uTP and
// TCP connections. These are also used for *outgoing* uTP and UDP
// tracker connections and DHT nodes.
//
// It is possible to listen on multiple interfaces and
// multiple ports. Binding to port 0 will make the operating system
// pick the port.
//
// .. note::
// There are reasons to stick to the same port across sessions,
// which would mean only using port 0 on the first start, and
// recording the port that was picked for subsequent startups.
// Trackers, the DHT and other peers will remember the port they see
// you use and hand that port out to other peers trying to connect
// to you, as well as trying to connect to you themselves.
//
// A port that has an "s" suffix will accept SSL connections. (note
// that SSL sockets are not enabled by default).
//
// A port that has an "l" suffix will be considered a local network.
// i.e. it's assumed to only be able to reach hosts in the same local
// network as the IP address (based on the netmask associated with the
// IP, queried from the operating system).
//
// if binding fails, the listen_failed_alert is posted. Once a
// socket binding succeeds (if it does), the listen_succeeded_alert
// is posted. There may be multiple failures before a success.
//
// If a device name that does not exist is configured, no listen
// socket will be opened for that interface. If this is the only
// interface configured, it will be as if no listen ports are
// configured.
//
// If no listen ports are configured (e.g. listen_interfaces is an
// empty string), networking will be disabled. No DHT will start, no
// outgoing uTP or tracker connections will be made. No incoming TCP
// or uTP connections will be accepted. (outgoing TCP connections
// will still be possible, depending on
// settings_pack::outgoing_interfaces).
//
// For example:
// ``[::1]:8888`` - will only accept connections on the IPv6 loopback
// address on port 8888.
//
// ``eth0:4444,eth1:4444`` - will accept connections on port 4444 on
// any IP address bound to device ``eth0`` or ``eth1``.
//
// ``[::]:0s`` - will accept SSL connections on a port chosen by the
// OS. And not accept non-SSL connections at all.
//
// ``0.0.0.0:6881,[::]:6881`` - binds to all interfaces on port 6881.
//
// ``10.0.1.13:6881l`` - binds to the local IP address, port 6881, but
// only allow talking to peers on the same local network. The netmask
// is queried from the operating system. Interfaces marked ``l`` are
// not announced to trackers, unless the tracker is also on the same
// local network.
//
// Windows OS network adapter device name must be specified with GUID.
// It can be obtained from "netsh lan show interfaces" command output.
// GUID must be uppercased string embraced in curly brackets.
// ``{E4F0B674-0DFC-48BB-98A5-2AA730BDB6D6}::7777`` - will accept
