[PATCH 1/2] Protocols should explicitly request the same IPv4 address on reconnect, since they will abort if new addresses are sent by the server.

This behavior is supported by AnyConnect (CONNECT with X-CSTP-Address header)
and by GlobalProtect (POST /ssl-vpn/getconfig.esp with preferred-ip form field).
There does not appear to be any obvious way for Juniper/NC to follow this behavior.
gpst.c already followed this behavior out of necessity, because GlobalProtect
servers tend to provide different IPv4 addresses upon reconnect, after even a brief
disconnection.
This patch reproduces this behavior in cstp.c; I did not make the corresponding
change for IPv6 because I have no way to test it.
