I found a bug in my socket-per-iface logic:  I was not properly detecting
the removal of interfaces.

To fix, I added the ability to listen to certain iftree events, and made the io_ip_socket
register as a listener.  This appears to work much better when interfaces disappear
and re-appear.

The new consolidated fea patch is here:

Thanks,
