sys: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

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.

No functional change intended.

Remove the NATM framework including the en(4), fatm(4), hatm(4), and
patm(4) devices.

Maintaining an address family and framework has real costs when we make
infrastructure improvements. In the case of NATM we support no devices
manufactured in the last 20 years and some will not even work in modern
motherboards (some newer devices that patm(4) could be updated to
support apparently exist, but we do not currently have support).

With this change, support remains for some netgraph modules that don't
require NATM support code. It is unclear if all these should remain,
though ng_atmllc certainly stands alone.

Note well: FreeBSD 11 supports NATM and will continue to do so until at
least September 30, 2021. Improvements to the code in FreeBSD 11 are
certainly welcome.

Introduce a per-VNET flag to enable/disable netisr prcessing on that VNET.
Add accessor functions to toggle the state per VNET.
The base system (vnet0) will always enable itself with the normal
registration. We will share the registered protocol handlers in all
VNETs minimising duplication and management.
Upon disabling netisr processing for a VNET drain the netisr queue from
packets for that VNET.

Update netisr consumers to (de)register on a per-VNET start/teardown using
VNET_SYS(UN)INIT functionality.

The change should be transparent for non-VIMAGE kernels.

Update the IPv4 input path to handle reassembled frames and incoming frames
with no RSS hash.

When doing RSS:

* Create a new IPv4 netisr which expects the frames to have been verified;
it just directly dispatches to the IPv4 input path.
* Once IPv4 reassembly is done, re-calculate the RSS hash with the new
IP and L3 header; then reinject it as appropriate.
* Update the IPv4 netisr to be a CPU affinity netisr with the RSS hash
function (rss_soft_m2cpuid) - this will do a software hash if the
hardware doesn't provide one.

NICs that don't implement hardware RSS hashing will now benefit from RSS
distribution - it'll inject into the correct destination netisr.

Note: the netisr distribution doesn't work out of the box - netisr doesn't
query RSS for how many CPUs and the affinity setup. Yes, netisr likely
shouldn't really be doing CPU stuff anymore and should be "some kind of
'thing' that is a workqueue that may or may not have any CPU affinity";
that's for a later commit.

Remove AppleTalk support.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.

Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

Remove IPX support.

IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.

Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

Rework netisr policy mechanism so that per-protocol dispatch policies can
be represented:

- A single policy namespace is defined, consisting of four possible
policies: "default" to use the global default, "deferred" to force
deferred dispatch, "direct" to employ direct dispatch where possible, and
"hybrid" which makes a dynamic decision based on CPU affinity, ordering,
etc. Routines are implemented to convert between strings and an integer
namespace.

- A new global variable, netisr_dispatch_policy, subsumes existing global
variables for direct dispatch, forced direct dispatch, etc, and is used
for explicit policy interpretation and composition. Old variables remain
so that they can be exported by legacy sysctls for use by old netstat(1)
binaries. A new sysctl and tunable, netisr.dispatch.policy, accepts the
above strings for specifying a global policy default.

- The protocol registration structure, netisr_handler, grows an nh_dispatch
field, which accepts a per-policy policy override. The default value is
'0', which corresponds to "default", meaning that protocols will accept
the global default policy unless otherwise specified.

- Policies are now interpreted and composed explicitly at various points in
packet dispatch; protocol policies override global policies.

- Protocols grow the ability to express a non-opinion about affinity even
when implenting m2cpuid by returning NETISR_CPUID_NONE. In that case, the
framework falls back on source ordering, rather than simply using the
current CPU.

These changes are in support of allowing link layer re-dispatch based on
RSS or similar hashes provided by NICs, especially in the case where the
number of hardware receive queues matches hardware core count, rather than
hardware thread count, requiring further software redistributeon. (i.e.,
on RMI XLR).
