This revision does not make any protocol changes, it merely clarifies the
time when a Neighbour Table entry may be created.  The change was
discussed on the list, please see the thread called "Minor clarification
to HMAC" starting on 28 June 2019.

I've added some discussion of that particular point to the Security
Considerations section, as requested by Markus Stenberg, and followed
Mahesh Jethanandani's suggestion to refer to TCP SYN flooding.

It is my opinion that this change does not warrant restarting Last Call.
