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.

Overview

Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in better managing
the depth of bottleneck queues in routers, switches and other places
that get congested. Solutions include transport protocol enhancements
at the end-hosts (such as delay-based or hybrid congestion control
schemes) and active queue management (AQM) schemes applied within
bottleneck queues.

The notion of AQM has been around since at least the late 1990s
(e.g. RFC 2309). In recent years the proliferation of oversized
buffers in all sorts of network devices (aka bufferbloat) has
stimulated keen community interest in four new AQM schemes -- CoDel,
FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ-PIE.

The IETF AQM working group is looking to document these schemes,
and independent implementations are a corner-stone of the IETF's
process for confirming the clarity of publicly available protocol
descriptions. While significant development work on all three schemes
has occured in the Linux kernel, there is very little in FreeBSD.

Project Goals

This project began in late 2015, and aims to design and implement
functionally-correct versions of CoDel, FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ_PIE
in FreeBSD (with code BSD-licensed as much as practical). We have
chosen to do this as extensions to FreeBSD's ipfw/dummynet firewall
and traffic shaper. Implementation of these AQM schemes in FreeBSD
will:
* Demonstrate whether the publicly available documentation is
sufficient to enable independent, functionally equivalent implementations

* Provide a broader suite of AQM options for sections the networking
community that rely on FreeBSD platforms

Program Members:

* Rasool Al Saadi (developer)

* Grenville Armitage (project lead)

MFC of a large number of ipfw and dummynet fixes and enhancements
done in CURRENT over the last 4 months.
HEAD and RELENG_8 are almost in sync now for ipfw, dummynet
the pfil hooks and related components.

Among the most noticeable changes:
- r200855 more efficient lookup of skipto rules, and remove O(N)
blocks from critical sections in the kernel;
- r204591 large restructuring of the dummynet module, with support
for multiple scheduling algorithms (4 available so far)
See the original commit logs for details.

Changes in the kernel/userland ABI should be harmless because the
kernel is able to understand previous requests from RELENG_8 and
RELENG_7. For this reason, this changeset would be applicable
to RELENG_7 as well, but i am not sure if it is worthwhile.

IFH@204581

Bring in the most recent version of ipfw and dummynet, developed
and tested over the past two months in the ipfw3-head branch. This
also happens to be the same code available in the Linux and Window

Bring in the most recent version of ipfw and dummynet, developed
and tested over the past two months in the ipfw3-head branch. This
also happens to be the same code available in the Linux and Windows
ports of ipfw and dummynet.

The major enhancement is a completely restructured version of
dummynet, with support for different packet scheduling algorithms
(loadable at runtime), faster queue/pipe lookup, and a much cleaner
internal architecture and kernel/userland ABI which simplifies
future extensions.

In addition to the existing schedulers (FIFO and WF2Q+), we include
a Deficit Round Robin (DRR or RR for brevity) scheduler, and a new,
very fast version of WF2Q+ called QFQ.

Some test code is also present (in sys/netinet/ipfw/test) that
lets you build and test schedulers in userland.

Also, we have added a compatibility layer that understands requests
from the RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 versions of the /sbin/ipfw binaries,
and replies correctly (at least, it does its best; sometimes you
just cannot tell who sent the request and how to answer).
The compatibility layer should make it possible to MFC this code in a
relatively short time.

Some minor glitches (e.g. handling of ipfw set enable/disable,
and a workaround for a bug in RELENG_7's /sbin/ipfw) will be
fixed with separate commits.

CREDITS:
This work has been partly supported by the ONELAB2 project, and
mostly developed by Riccardo Panicucci and myself.
The code for the qfq scheduler is mostly from Fabio Checconi,
and Marta Carbone and Francesco Magno have helped with testing,
debugging and some bug fixes.

Various cleanup done in ipfw3-head branch including:
- use a uniform mtag format for all packets that exit and re-enter
the firewall in the middle of a rulechain. On reentry, all tags
containing reinject info are renamed to MTAG_IPFW_RULE so the
processing is simpler.

- make ipfw and dummynet use ip_len and ip_off in network format
everywhere. Conversion is done only once instead of tracking
the format in every place.

- use a macro FREE_PKT to dispose of mbufs. This eases portability.

On passing i also removed a few typos, staticise or localise variables,
remove useless declarations and other minor things.

Overall the code shrinks a bit and is hopefully more readable.

I have tested functionality for all but ng_ipfw and if_bridge/if_ethersubr.
For ng_ipfw i am actually waiting for feedback from glebius@ because
we might have some small changes to make.
For if_bridge and if_ethersubr feedback would be welcome
(there are still some redundant parts in these two modules that
I would like to remove, but first i need to check functionality).
