When daemon receives beacon with IV=n+1, IVU=False it will                                          
start sending messages with new IV and set sequence to 0.                                           
However if daemon receives another beacon with IV=n+1, IVU=True it                                  
will go back to sending messages with old IV=n (IVU will be set to                                  
True).                                                                                              
Because sequence number has been reset those messages will be dropped                               
by replay protection and node will lose communication.                                              
                                                                                                    
Once IV is updated daemon should not go back to using the old value.                                
                                                                                                    
This patch adds beacon rejection if IV has already been updated.

I see the bug you are fixing, and agree with the fix.

I have spun a v2 of this patch I would like to to OK:

1. I have eliminated the l_info output, because with a lot of nodes, this sends out a burst of "iv already
updated" strings each time this occurs (which seems to be a lot).

2. I added the equivilent check to the IV_UPD_INIT state, since this could just as easily happen on restart,
where the first beacon a daemon hears has the old IVU state as well...

I will await your OK before applying.
