[atlas] New probe firmware released: version 4.480

Hi everyone,

few days ago we have released a new version of the probe firmware: 4.480.

It introduces few bug fixes, and improvements that enable us to work on 
new features, but that still require work on the User Interface to make 
it visible to users.

Until now, about 1.500 probes have been upgraded to new firmware.

Below are the technical details.

*        Fixed bug in traceroute when it has to deal with rfc4884 
objects (mpls) that have a wrong size.
*        Delayed DNS name resolution in ping and traceroute. This 
feature will soon be enabled through the UI.
*        Fixed bug in HTTP GET where some characters where not properly 
escaped in generating the result JSON.
*        Fixed bugs in the libevent stub resolver to better handle DNS 
errors and timeouts (affects mostly httpget)
*        Limit the amount of measurement data that is sent as one unit. 
This prevents probes that have not connected to a controller for some 
time from overloading the controller.
*        The probe uptime is now in the DNS SOS messages that are sent 
by probes before they try to connect. This will allow making a 
distinction between various reasons for disconnects: e.g. probe reboot 
vs. network problems.
