Those names are not very good, but as I cannot think any better...

The issue 37 will solve this problem, so we can close that if issue 37
decides to move notifications to IKE_AUTH message.

Now when I have had some more time to think about this, I think Pasi's
solution is the best. My original proposal (include the addresses in
the notify) might have some issues with NATs, so I think the Pasi's
solution is better.

Moving the notification solves the issue 35, so I think we should move
the notifications.
