linux: allow RTM_GETADDR without full ifaddrmsg argument

Even modern glibc uses truncated argument for RTM_GETADDR when it wants to
list all addresses in a system. See
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ifaddrs.c:__netlink_sendreq(). It sends a one
char payload. Linux kernel allows that as long as given socket is not
marked as a 'strict'. We have a similar flag in the general netlink code
and it is checked in
sys/netlink/netlink_message_parser.h:nl_parse_header(). If the flag is
not present, parser will allocate a temporary zeroed buffer to make the
message correct. The checks added in b977dd1ea5fb blocked such message
before the parser. My reading of glibc says that there are two types of
messages that are sent with __netlink_sendreq() - RTM_GETLINK and
RTM_GETADDR. The RTM_GETLINK is binary compatible between Linux and
FreeBSD and thus doesn't need any ABI handler.

linux: make linux_netlink_p->msg_from_linux be able to fail

The KPI for this function was misleading. From the NetLink perspective it
looked like a function that: a) allocates new hdr, b) can fail. Neither
was true. Let the function return a error code instead of returning the
same hdr it was passed to. In case if future Linux NetLink compatibility
support calls for reallocating header, pass hdr as pointer to pointer.

With KPI that returns a error, propagate domain conversion errors all the
way up to NetLink module. This fixes panic when unknown domain is
converted to 0xff and this invalid value is passed into NetLink
processing.

netlink: use protocol specific receive buffer

Implement Netlink socket receive buffer as a simple TAILQ of nl_buf's,
same part of struct sockbuf that is used for send buffer already.
This shaves a lot of code and a lot of extra processing. The pcb rids
of the I/O queues as the socket buffer is exactly the queue. The
message writer is simplified a lot, as we now always deal with linear
buf. Notion of different buffer types goes away as way as different
kinds of writers. The only things remaining are: a socket writer and
a group writer.
The impact on the network stack is that we no longer use mbufs, so
a workaround from d18715475071 disappears.

Note on message throttling. Now the taskqueue throttling mechanism
needs to look at both socket buffers protected by their respective
locks and on flags in the pcb that are protected by the pcb lock.
There is definitely some room for optimization, but this changes tries
to preserve as much as possible.

Note on new nl_soreceive(). It emulates soreceive_generic(). It
must undergo further optimization, see large comment put in there.

Note on tests/sys/netlink/test_netlink_message_writer.py. This test
boiled down almost to nothing with mbufs removed. However, I left
it with minimal functionality (it basically checks that allocating N
bytes we get N bytes) as it is one of not so many examples of ktest
framework that allows to test KPIs with python.

Note on Linux support. It got much simplier: Netlink message writer
loses notion of Linux support lifetime, it is same regardless of
process ABI. On socket write from Linux process we perform
conversion immediately in nl_receive_message() and on an output
conversion to Linux happens in in nl_send_one(). XXX: both
conversions use M_NOWAIT allocation, which used to be the case
before this change, too.

net: replace IFF_KNOWSEPOCH with IFF_NEEDSEPOCH

Expect that drivers call into the network stack with the net epoch
entered. This has already been the fact since early 2020. The net
interrupts, that are marked with INTR_TYPE_NET, were entering epoch
since 511d1afb6bf. For the taskqueues there is NET_TASK_INIT() and
all drivers that were known back in 2020 we marked with it in
6c3e93cb5a4. However in e87c4940156 we took conservative approach
and preferred to opt-in rather than opt-out for the epoch.

This change not only reverts e87c4940156 but adds a safety belt to
avoid panicing with INVARIANTS if there is a missed driver. With
INVARIANTS we will run in_epoch() check, print a warning and enter
the net epoch. A driver that prints can be quickly fixed with the
IFF_NEEDSEPOCH flag, but better be augmented to properly enter the
epoch itself.

Note on TCP LRO: it is a backdoor to enter the TCP stack bypassing
some layers of net stack, ignoring either old IFF_KNOWSEPOCH or the
new IFF_NEEDSEPOCH. But the tcp_lro_flush_all() asserts the presence
of network epoch. Indeed, all NIC drivers that support LRO already
provide the epoch, either with help of INTR_TYPE_NET or just running
NET_EPOCH_ENTER() in their code.

All netlink protocol constants are consistent with the Linux version.
However, certain OS-specific constants such as AF_INET6, interface
flags or default routing table id, are different between FreeBSD and
Linux. Thus, it may be needed to rewrite some message parts or even
rewrite the whole message, adding or removing some TLVs. The core
netlink implementation code provides efficient rewriting callbacks
which Linuxolator now uses.
