Release: OpenVPN version 2.6.8

[Pippin]

The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.6.8. This is a small bugfix release fixing a few regressions in 2.6.7 release.

• For details see Changes.rst

User visible changes:

• Windows: print warning if pushed options require DHCP (e.g. DOMAIN-SEARCH) and driver in use does not use DHCP (wintun, dco).

Bug fixes:

• SIGSEGV crash: Do not check key_state buffers that are in S_UNDEF state (Github #449) - the new sanity check function introduced in 2.6.7 sometimes tried to use a NULL pointer after an unsuccessful TLS handshake
  
• Windows: --dns option did not work when tap-windows6 driver was used, because internal flag for "apply DNS option to DHCP server" wasn't set (Github #447)
  
• Windows: fix status/log file permissions, caused by regression after changing to CMake build system (Github: #454, Trac: #1430)
  
• Windows: fix --chdir failures, also caused by error in CMake build system (Github #448)

Windows MSI changes since 2.6.7:

• Included openvpn-gui updated to 11.46.0.0
