Log message:
Remove incomplete support for unnecessary modes of operation.
LDP has several modes of operation, it was designed in that way so it
could run on legacy equipment like ATM/FR switches with very strict
memory limitations.
For modern hardware there's no point on using either the "Conservative
Label Retention" or "Downstream On Demand" modes of operation since they
save memory at cost of blackholing traffic when routing changes. Major
vendors implement only the "Liberal Label Retention" and "Downstream
Unsolicited" modes for non ATM/FR hardware. Let's do that too.
As for using either "Independent Control" or "Ordered Control", let's
stick with the first option mainly because it's easier to implement
and because it doesn't really matter which control mode is used. For
reference, Cisco implements only "Independent Control" and Juniper only
"Ordered Control". Both modes are interoperable.
The point of supporting only one combination of all modes of operation
is that it will allow for the writing of a simpler code without removing
useful functionality.
