routing: extend nhop(9) kpi

* add nhop_get_unlinked() used to prepare referenced but not
linked nexthop, that can later be used as a clone source.
* add nhop_check_gateway() to check for allowed address family
combinations between the rib family and neighbor family (useful
for 4o6 or direct routes)

IPv4 rib.

[multipath][nhops] Fix random crashes with high route churn rate.

When certain multipath route begins flapping really fast, it may
result in creating multiple identical nexthop groups. The code
responsible for unlinking unused nexthop groups had an implicit
assumption that there could be only one nexthop group for the
same combination of nexthops with weights. This assumption resulted
in always unlinking the first "identical" group, instead of the
desired one. Such action, in turn, produced a used-but-unlinked
nhg along with freed-and-linked nhg, ending up in random crashes.

Similarly, it is possible that multiple identical nexthops gets
created in the case of high route churn, resulting in the same
problem when deleting one of such nexthops.

Fix by matching the nexthop/nexhop group pointer when deleting the item.

Introduce nexthop objects and new routing KPI.

This is the foundational change for the routing subsytem rearchitecture.
More details and goals are available in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24141 .

This patch introduces concept of nexthop objects and new nexthop-based
routing KPI.

Nexthops are objects, containing all necessary information for performing
the packet output decision. Output interface, mtu, flags, gw address goes
there. For most of the cases, these objects will serve the same role as
the struct rtentry is currently serving.
Typically there will be low tens of such objects for the router even with
multiple BGP full-views, as these objects will be shared between routing
entries. This allows to store more information in the nexthop.

New KPI:

struct nhop_object *fib4_lookup(uint32_t fibnum, struct in_addr dst,
uint32_t scopeid, uint32_t flags, uint32_t flowid);
struct nhop_object *fib6_lookup(uint32_t fibnum, const struct in6_addr *dst6,
uint32_t scopeid, uint32_t flags, uint32_t flowid);

These 2 function are intended to replace all all flavours of
<in_|in6_>rtalloc[1]<_ign><_fib>, mpath functions and the previous
fib[46]-generation functions.

Upon successful lookup, they return nexthop object which is guaranteed to
exist within current NET_EPOCH. If longer lifetime is desired, one can
specify NHR_REF as a flag and get a referenced version of the nexthop.
Reference semantic closely resembles rtentry one, allowing sed-style conversion.

Additionally, another 2 functions are introduced to support uRPF functionality
inside variety of our firewalls. Their primary goal is to hide the multipath
implementation details inside the routing subsystem, greatly simplifying
firewalls implementation:

int fib4_lookup_urpf(uint32_t fibnum, struct in_addr dst, uint32_t scopeid,
uint32_t flags, const struct ifnet *src_if);
int fib6_lookup_urpf(uint32_t fibnum, const struct in6_addr *dst6, uint32_t scopeid,
uint32_t flags, const struct ifnet *src_if);

All functions have a separate scopeid argument, paving way to eliminating IPv6 scope
embedding and allowing to support IPv4 link-locals in the future.

Structure changes:
* rtentry gets new 'rt_nhop' pointer, slightly growing the overall size.
* rib_head gets new 'rnh_preadd' callback pointer, slightly growing overall sz.

Old KPI:
During the transition state old and new KPI will coexists. As there are another 4-5
decent-sized conversion patches, it will probably take a couple of weeks.
To support both KPIs, fields not required by the new KPI (most of rtentry) has to be
kept, resulting in the temporary size increase.
Once conversion is finished, rtentry will notably shrink.
