One of the goals is to have a simple, standard-feeling API getting and
setting things in olsrd.  Having the hna setting in a different plugin
means opening a separate network socket, and would add needless
complexity.  Instead someone who wants a standalone runtime_hna plugin
could just take the code out of the jsoninfo plugin, and we have both
options.
