Pull request 561: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/561


Add ROUTER socket option 'ZMQ_ROUTER_ANNOUNCE_SELF' to introduce self(e.g. send an empty message) to newly connected/accepted peers, to allow ROUTER<->ROUTER auto-discovery problem.

Not sure that zmq::router_t::identify_peer() - it is the best place for the code to automatically send message to new peers.

Anyway it works, and now ROUTER will send message to any newly connected peer.
This way ROUTER on other side immediately will know the identity of the remote side.

P.S.
I believe that 'ZMQ_ROUTER_ANNOUNCE_SELF' option name could/should be adjusted.
