Jon Shallow 10b1b17aec server (lwip & contiki) run out of sessions
As a server, idle sessions are left around in case the client wants to do
further work using the same 5 tuple IP information.
With constrained systems, the number of sessions is limited, and so it is
easy to run out of sessions.

src/coap_session.c:

If there is an idle session, context->max_idle_sessions is not set and
a new session cannot be created, free off the oldest session and retry
the creation again.

Example of libcoap running on contiki
=====================================

To run the example, do

    $ make
    $ sudo ./server.minimal-net

(and in a second terminal)

    $ sudo ip -6 a a aaaa::1/64 dev tap0

and query `coap://[aaaa::1000]/time?ticks` with any coap tool,
or query `coap://[aaaa::1000]/.well-known/core`

This will

* download contiki from the upstream git sources
* build the server application
* run the server application, creating a virtual network device tap0 (unless
  that exists)
* configure your network interface to make the server accessible.

* return the appropriate response from the server to the client.

The server creates a resource for 'time' with a query 'ticks'.  This is
reported for `.well-known/core`. The work flow for adding more resources does
not differ from regular libcoap usage. If you seem to run out of memory
creating the resources, tweak the number of pre-allocated resources
in `coap_config.h.contiki`.
