Restructure the mbuf pkthdr to make it fit for upcoming capabilities and
features. The changes in particular are:

o Remove rarely used "header" pointer and replace it with a 64bit protocol/
layer specific union PH_loc for local use. Protocols can flexibly overlay
their own 8 to 64 bit fields to store information while the packet is
worked on.

o Mechanically convert IP reassembly, IGMP/MLD and ATM to use pkthdr.PH_loc
instead of pkthdr.header.

o Extend csum_flags to 64bits to allow for additional future offload
information to be carried (e.g. iSCSI, IPsec offload, and others).

o Move the RSS hash type enumerator from abusing m_flags to its own 8bit
rsstype field. Adjust accessor macros.

o Add cosqos field to store Class of Service / Quality of Service information
with the packet. It is not yet supported in any drivers but allows us to
get on par with Cisco/Juniper in routing applications (plus MPLS QoS) with
a modernized ALTQ.

o Add four 8 bit fields l[2-5]hlen to store the relative header offsets
from the start of the packet. This is important for various offload
capabilities and to relieve the drivers from having to parse the packet
and protocol headers to find out location of checksums and other
information. Header parsing in drivers is a lot of copy-paste and
unhandled corner cases which we want to avoid.

o Add another flexible 64bit union to map various additional persistent
packet information, like ether_vtag, tso_segsz and csum fields.
Depending on the csum_flags settings some fields may have different usage
making it very flexible and adaptable to future capabilities.

o Restructure the CSUM flags to better signify their outbound (down the
stack) and inbound (up the stack) use. The CSUM flags used to be a bit
chaotic and rather poorly documented leading to incorrect use in many
places. Bring clarity into their use through better naming.
Compatibility mappings are provided to preserve the API. The drivers
can be corrected one by one and MFC'd without issue.

o The size of pkthdr stays the same at 48/56bytes (32/64bit architectures).

In r227207, to fix the issue with possible NULL inp_socket pointer
dereferencing, when checking for SO_REUSEPORT option (and SO_REUSEADDR
for multicast), INP_REUSEPORT flag was introduced to cache the socket
option. It was decided then that one flag would be enough to cache
both SO_REUSEPORT and SO_REUSEADDR: when processing SO_REUSEADDR
setsockopt(2), it was checked if it was called for a multicast address
and INP_REUSEPORT was set accordingly.

Unfortunately that approach does not work when setsockopt(2) is called
before binding to a multicast address: the multicast check fails and
INP_REUSEPORT is not set.

Fix this by adding INP_REUSEADDR flag to unconditionally cache
SO_REUSEADDR.

Merge fresh head.

Finally change the mbuf to have its own fib field instead of stealing
4 flag bits. This was supposed to happen in 8.0, and again in 2012..

Remove the recently added sysctl variable net.pfil.forward.
Instead, add protocol specific mbuf flags M_IP_NEXTHOP and
M_IP6_NEXTHOP. Use them to indicate that the mbuf's chain
contains the PACKET_TAG_IPFORWARD tag. And do a tag lookup
only when this flag is set.
