UDP tests store a packet sequence number in the packets to detect loss and ordering issues. This sequence number is a 32-bit signed integer, which can wrap during very long-running UDP tests. This change adds an option (defaulting to off) which uses a 64-bit unsigned integer to store this quantity in the packet. The option is specified on the client side; the server must support this feature for proper functioning (older servers will interoperate with newer clients, as long as --udp-counters-64-bit is not used). The default might be changed in a future version of iperf3. As a part of this change, the client sends its version string to the server in the parameter block. Uses a public-domain compatibility shim for 64-bit byte order conversions. There are probably some additional platforms that need to be supported, in particular Solaris. We might add some configure-time checks to only enable this feature on platforms where we can support the byte-order conversions. This change is not well-tested. Towards issue #191.
