Add a queue to hold packets while we await an ARP reply.

When a fast machine first brings up some non TCP networking program
it is quite possible that we will drop packets due to the fact that
only one packet can be held per ARP entry. This leads to packets
being missed when a program starts or restarts if the ARP data is
not currently in the ARP cache.

This code adds a new sysctl, net.link.ether.inet.maxhold, which defines
a system wide maximum number of packets to be held in each ARP entry.
Up to maxhold packets are queued until an ARP reply is received or
the ARP times out. The default setting is the old value of 1
which has been part of the BSD networking code since time
immemorial.

Expose the time we hold an incomplete ARP entry by adding
the sysctl net.link.ether.inet.wait, which defaults to 20
seconds, the value used when the new ARP code was added..

Allow carp(4) to be loaded as a kernel module. Follow precedent set by
bridge(4), lagg(4) etc. and make use of function pointers and
pf_proto_register() to hook carp into the network stack.

Currently, because of the uncertainty about whether the unload path is free
of race condition panics, unloads are disallowed by default. Compiling with
CARPMOD_CAN_UNLOAD in CFLAGS removes this anti foot shooting measure.

Document the mandatory argument to the arptimer() and
nd6_llinfo_timer() functions with a KASSERT().
Note: there is no need to return after panic.

In the legacy IP case, only assign the arg after the check,
in the IPv6 case, remove the extra checks for the table and
interface as they have to be there unless we freed and forgot
to cancel the timer. It doesn't matter anyway as we would
panic on the NULL pointer deref immediately and the bug is
elsewhere.
This unifies the code of both address families to some extend.

"Whitspace" churn after the VIMAGE/VNET whirls.

Remove the need for some "init" functions within the network
stack, like pim6_init(), icmp_init() or significantly shorten
others like ip6_init() and nd6_init(), using static initialization
again where possible and formerly missed.

Move (most) variables back to the place they used to be before the
container structs and VIMAGE_GLOABLS (before r185088) and try to
reduce the diff to stable/7 and earlier as good as possible,
to help out-of-tree consumers to update from 6.x or 7.x to 8 or 9.

This also removes some header file pollution for putatively
static global variables.

Revert VIMAGE specific changes in ipfilter::ip_auth.c, that are
no longer needed.

the reference again and explicitly call callout_stop() to clear the active

due to the expiration timer was not cancelled when installing
the static entry. Since there exist a potential race condition
with respect to timer cancellation, simply check for the
LLE_STATIC bit inside the expiration function instead of
cancelling the active timer.
