routing: Allow using IPv6 next-hops for IPv4 routes (RFC 5549).

Implement kernel support for RFC 5549/8950.

* Relax control plane restrictions and allow specifying IPv6 gateways
for IPv4 routes. This behavior is controlled by the
net.route.rib_route_ipv6_nexthop sysctl (on by default).

* Always pass final destination in ro->ro_dst in ip_forward().

* Use ro->ro_dst to exract packet family inside if_output() routines.
Consistently use RO_GET_FAMILY() macro to handle ro=NULL case.

* Pass extracted family to nd6_resolve() to get the LLE with proper encap.
It leverages recent lltable changes committed in c541bd368f86.

Presence of the functionality can be checked using ipv4_rfc5549_support feature(3).
Example usage:
route add -net 192.0.0.0/24 -inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe14:e319%vtnet0

Explicitly change the link state when we assingn an address.

Since we are setting IFF_UP flag on SIOCSIFADDR, it is possible, that
after this link state information still not initialized properly.
This leads to problems with routing, since now interface has
IFCAP_LINKSTATE capability and a route is considered as working only
when interface's link state is in LINK_STATE_UP (see RT_LINK_IS_UP()
macro).

sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

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.

Clear mbuf hashtype on loopback when RSS is enabled.

The hashtype on an outgoing mbuf reflects the correct hash on the
transmit side of the connection. If this hash persists on loopback,
the receiving RSS/PCBGROUP code will use it to look up the pcbgroup
for the transmit side, which will often not match the pcbgroup for the
receive side of the connection. This leads to TCP connections
hanging, and dropping the SYN/ACK packet. This is essentially
the same as having a hardware network card generate mbufs with an
incorrect RSS hash.

There are a number of places which can set the hash on transmit,
so the simplest fix is to simply clear the hash at loopback time.
Clearing the hash allows a new, correct hash to be calculated in
software on the receive side.

Get closer to a VIMAGE network stack teardown from top to bottom rather
than removing the network interfaces first. This change is rather larger
and convoluted as the ordering requirements cannot be separated.

Move the pfil(9) framework to SI_SUB_PROTO_PFIL, move Firewalls and
related modules to their own SI_SUB_PROTO_FIREWALL.
Move initialization of "physical" interfaces to SI_SUB_DRIVERS,
move virtual (cloned) interfaces to SI_SUB_PSEUDO.
Move Multicast to SI_SUB_PROTO_MC.

Re-work parts of multicast initialisation and teardown, not taking the
huge amount of memory into account if used as a module yet.

For interface teardown we try to do as many of them as we can on
SI_SUB_INIT_IF, but for some this makes no sense, e.g., when tunnelling
over a higher layer protocol such as IP. In that case the interface
has to go along (or before) the higher layer protocol is shutdown.

Kernel hhooks need to go last on teardown as they may be used at various
higher layers and we cannot remove them before we cleaned up the higher
layers.

For interface teardown there are multiple paths:
(a) a cloned interface is destroyed (inside a VIMAGE or in the base system),
(b) any interface is moved from a virtual network stack to a different
network stack ("vmove"), or (c) a virtual network stack is being shut down.
All code paths go through if_detach_internal() where we, depending on the
vmove flag or the vnet state, make a decision on how much to shut down;
in case we are destroying a VNET the individual protocol layers will
cleanup their own parts thus we cannot do so again for each interface as
we end up with, e.g., double-frees, destroying locks twice or acquiring
already destroyed locks.
When calling into protocol cleanups we equally have to tell them
whether they need to detach upper layer protocols ("ulp") or not
(e.g., in6_ifdetach()).

Provide or enahnce helper functions to do proper cleanup at a protocol
rather than at an interface level.
