noping: Fix compatibility with ncurses 5.8.

Hello,

My name is Gaetan and I maintain liboping in Arch Linux; our distro is
in the process of switching to ncurses-5.8, and I wanted to report that
I had to patch liboping to make noping work with the newer ncurses.

Specifically, if I update ncurses and run the old noping binary, then
nothing is displayed in the ncurses window (although the summary output
displayed on stdout at the end is correct). Same if I recompile noping
against the new ncurses library.

The reason seems to be that calling newwin() with ncols=0 does not
produce a full width window anymore. Anyway, the simple patch attached
fixed this issue for me.

Cheers.

src/liboping.c: Fixed argument verification.

ping_iterator_get_info()'s 'buffer' argument _may_ be NULL, since the user
might only be interested in the size of the (to be) returned value. If
'buffer' is NULL, '*buffer_len' should be 0, though, to make sure nothing gets
written to 'buffer'.

src/oping.c: Added -D <interface name> command line option.

This option sets the outgoing network device to use.

I decided not to reuse the -I command line option for that purpose (which is
what GNU ping is doing), for the following reasons:

 * In theory, an interface name could be confused with a host name.
 * Imho, it's better to specify things explicitly.
 * This approach is more flexible.

Added support for PING_OPT_DEVICE.

This option may be used to set the outgoing network device to be used. The
value passed must be a char-pointer to a null-terminated string specifying an
interface name (e.g. eth0).

Please note that this might not be supported by all operating systems. In that
case, ping_setopt() sets the error to "operation not supported".

src/liboping.c: Fixed the handling of multiple hosts.

ping_receive_all() used to always pass the first host object to
ping_receive_one() which used that host object to determine the expected
address family. Thus, when pinging v4 and v6 hosts in parallel, some of them
would have never been considered but assumed to be timed out.

While at it, the code has been clarified in regard to matching an ECHO_REPLY
with the appropriate host object.
