netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (commit id 3fb001303718146)

Changelist:
- Turn tx_rings and rx_rings arrays into arrays of pointers to kring
structs. This patch includes fixes for ixv, ixl, ix, re, cxgbe, iflib,
vtnet and ptnet drivers to cope with the change.
- Generalize the nm_config() callback to accept a struct containing many
parameters.
- Introduce NKR_FAKERING to support buffers sharing (used for netmap
pipes)
- Improved API for external VALE modules.
- Various bug fixes and improvements to the netmap memory allocator,
including support for externally (userspace) allocated memory.
- Refactoring of netmap pipes: now linked rings share the same netmap
buffers, with a separate set of kring pointers (rhead, rcur, rtail).
Buffer swapping does not need to happen anymore.
- Large refactoring of the control API towards an extensible solution;
the goal is to allow the addition of more commands and extension of
existing ones (with new options) without the need of hacks or the
risk of running out of configuration space.
A new NIOCCTRL ioctl has been added to handle all the requests of the
new control API, which cover all the functionalities so far supported.
The netmap API bumps from 11 to 12 with this patch. Full backward
compatibility is provided for the old control command (NIOCREGIF), by
means of a new netmap_legacy module. Many parts of the old netmap.h
header has now been moved to netmap_legacy.h (included by netmap.h).

spdx: initial adoption of licensing ID tags.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

With r290566 in place it turned out that WOL previously only worked by
accident with RTL8168G and later chips when the interface actually was
brought up. This is due to the fact that with these MAC variants, RXDV
gate needs be disabled for WOL to work. So do just that in re_setwol()
when IFCAP_WOL is requested.

- Although it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to enable RX and TX
before their initial configuration is done, it turns out that r281337
has the inverse effect on some older chips. Moreover, as with newer
chips before, two chips seemingly identical according to their MAC
revisions may behave differently in this regard, with most working
but a few not, making changes extremely hard to test.
Closer inspection of the corresponding Linux code suggests that RX
and TX should only be enabled after their initial configuration with
RTL8168G and later chips, i. e. RTL8106E{,US}, RTL8107E, as well as
RTL8168{EP,G,GU,H}, so limit the new code path to these. [1]
- Distinguish between RTL8168H and RTL8107E, with the latter being the
10/100-Mbit/s-only variant of the former.
- For MAC variants that can only do Fast Ethernet at a maximum, ensure
that we don't advertise Gigabit Ethernet speed.
- In re_stop(), do the inverse of re_init_locked() and enable RXDV
gate on RTL8168G and later chips again, matching what Linux does.

Sync netmap sources with the version in our private tree.
This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and
Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco,
and brings in the following:

- fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports
(the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic
in parallel with the application)

- exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover
from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey)

- revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode'
(ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in
S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo;
Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking,
ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html

- fix rx CRC handing on ixl

- add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules

- minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync)

- general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros
to access rings and remove duplicate code,

Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course
they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open).

Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the
sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD
and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.
