* Delay a random jitter period prior to request a Router ID for REED.
* Update Cert_5_1_09_REEDAttachConnectivity.py to pass Travis check.
* Add CLI to set/get the ROUTER_SELECTION_JITTER and update Certification scripts.
- add 'posix-ncp' to allow failure list in .travis.yml.
Fixes Cert_5_6_06 and Cert_5_6_08. Fixes#517.
Collapse fcs16 into Hdlc class.
Add and correct subcommand completion handlers.
Move prefix handler to separate worker thread and task queue.
Channelize blocking spinel property change handlers to allow parallel
reuse across multiple threads.
Now calculates real round-trip times for ping6 reply:
12 bytes from fdde:ad00:beef::3388:cc1e:5e44:6150: icmp_seq=0 hlim=63 time=891ms
Increased pexpect timeout for ncp-sim to 4 sec to handle ping responses >2 sec.
Makes Cert_5_3_10_AddressQuery pass reliably, even on low memory Travis VMs.
Added initial stub for commissioner command.
Add env variable control of ncp-sim DEBUG output.
* Improve ping reliability by making it fully async. Eliminate 5_1_07 from XFAIL list.
* Some non-core changes: readd missing StreamSocket class, improve handling of command.
* Update default "CACHE_ENTRIES" and "MAX_CHILDREN" to support required minimum children.
* Update Cert_5_1_07_MaxChildCount.py due to maximum children number change.
* ncp: Added spinel-cli and initial travis CI test suite integration.
This PR adds a command line tool, named spinel-cli, that converts ot-cli shell commands (as documented in https://github.com/openthread/openthread/blob/master/src/cli/README.md) to spinel NCP commands (as documented in https://github.com/openthread/openthread/blob/master/src/ncp/PROTOCOL.md).
Also added is a patch to node.py that provides a way to run the existing continuous integration certification test suite against an NCP build rather than a CLI build (by prefacing the command to start the test with the environment variable setting NODE_TYPE=ncp-sim):
cd tests/scripts/thread-cert
NODE_TYPE=ncp-sim top_builddir=../../.. python Cert_5_1_02_ChildAddressTimeout.py
The power of this tool is three fold:
1) As a path to add testing of the NCP in simulation to continuous integration
2) As a path to automated testing of testbeds running NCP firmware on hardware
3) As a simple debugging tool for NCP builds of OpenThread

The tool provides three ways to connect to an NCP image:
1) pipe to stdin/stdout of a command line tool (default): -p ./ot-ncp
2) serial connection to a hardware device: -u /dev/ttyUSB0
3) socket connection to the port of a helper tool such as ncp-spi-driver: -s 1234
spinel-cli$ ./spinel-cli.py --help

-u UART, --uart=UART

-s SOCKET, --socket=SOCKET

* Redefine otEnable/otDisable to just initialize/uninitialize the OpenThread stack.
* Remove otInit API since it is replaced by otEnable.
* Add otInterfaceUp/otInterfaceDown APIs to bring up/down IPv6 interface.
* Add otThreadStart/otThreadStop APIs to start/stop Thread protocol operation.
* Updated NCP implementation to utilize new APIs.
