Make struct ifnet readable and comprehensible again by grouping

Make struct ifnet readable and comprehensible again by grouping
and ordering related variables, fields and locks next to each
other. Add more comments to variables.

Over time 'ifnet' has accumlated a lot of additional pointers and
functionality in an unstructured way making it quite hard to read
and understand while obfuscating relationships between fields and
variables.

Quantify the structure size and how bloated it has become.

This is only a mechanical change in preparation for upcoming
work to make ifnet opaque to drivers and to separate out the
interface queuing.

- Utilize counter(9) to accumulate statistics on interface addresses. Add
four counters to struct ifaddr. This kills '+=' on a variables shared
between processors for every packet.
- Nuke struct if_data from struct ifaddr.
- In ip_input() do not put a reference on ifaddr, instead update statistics
right now in place and do IN_IFADDR_RUNLOCK(). These removes atomic(9)
for every packet. [1]
- To properly support NET_RT_IFLISTL sysctl used by getifaddrs(3), in
rtsock.c fill if_data fields using counter_u64_fetch().
- Accidentially fix bug in COMPAT_32 version of NET_RT_IFLISTL, which
took if_data not from the ifaddr, but from ifaddr's ifnet. [2]

Push some defines under _KERNEL, improve styling and comments.

Remove ifa_mtx. It was used only in one place in kernel, and ifnet's
ifaddr lock can substitute it there.

Remove ifa_init() and provide ifa_alloc() that will allocate and setup

Allow drivers to specify a maximum TSO length in bytes if they are
limited in the amount of data they can handle at once.

Drivers can set ifp->if_hw_tsomax before calling ether_ifattach() to
change the limit.

The lowest allowable size is IP_MAXPACKET / 8 (8192 bytes) as anything
less wouldn't be very useful anymore. The upper limit is still at
IP_MAXPACKET (65536 bytes). Raising it requires further auditing of
the IPv4/v6 code path's as the length field in the IP header would
overflow leading to confusion in firewalls and others packet handler on
the real size of the packet.

The placement into "struct ifnet" is a bit hackish but the best place
that was found. When the stack/driver boundary is updated it should
be handled in a better way.

Back out r249318, r249320 and r249327 due to a heisenbug most
likely related to a race condition in the ipi_hash_lock with

reside on their own cache line to prevent false sharing with other
nearby structures, especially for those in the .bss segment.

NB: Those mutexes and rwlocks with variables next to them that get
changed on every invocation do not benefit from their own cache line.
Actually it may be net negative because two cache misses would be
incurred in those cases.

Resolve source address selection in presense of CARP. Add a couple

- carp_master() - boolean function which is true if an address

Resolve source address selection in presense of CARP. Add a couple
of helper functions:

- carp_master() - boolean function which is true if an address
is in the MASTER state.
- ifa_preferred() - boolean function that compares two addresses,
and is aware of CARP.

Utilize ifa_preferred() in ifa_ifwithnet().

The previous version of patch also changed source address selection
logic in jails using carp_master(), but we failed to negotiate this part
with Bjoern. May be we will approach this problem again later.
