Maximum linked nodes #91

This thread on community raises a number of social if not also technical issues. https://community.allstarlink.org/t/blocking-bad-actors-via-rf/19899/35

Perhaps there is a way to disconnect the last node that connected if xnode RPT_NUMLINKS exceeds a rpt.conf parameter (perhaps maxlinkednodes=n).

For outbound connects RPT_NUMLINKS could be checked before the connect is made, thus preventing the connection. That may not be possible on inbound connects but it would be desirable.

Please note that RPT_NUMLINKS doesn't always update instantly. It does update eventually, but not sure when or how. Seems to occur only on the node connecting into the others.

I'm attempting to use the Events Management system to disable incoming connections with cop,49. However, Events Management seems broken per Issue #102.

This looks like it will handle this issue. However a fix for events was needed and is being tested. 

MAXLINKS = v|e|$[${RPT_NUMALINKS} >= 1]  ; Test inbound links for GE n links
cop,49 = c|t|MAXLINKS                    ; Disable links if MAXLINKS goes true
cop,50 = c|f|MAXLINKS                    ; Enable links if MAXLINKS goes false
