ipv6: convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in only and clean up Kconfigs

Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific
setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it
imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore,
drop it.

Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig
dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In
addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR()
and MODULE_LICENSE().

This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not
possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race
condition on IPv6 addrconf.

Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y
except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is
increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on
this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements
and recommendations [1].

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

bridge: Add vlan filtering infrastructure

Adds an optional infrustructure component to bridge that would allow
native vlan filtering in the bridge. Each bridge port (as well
as the bridge device) now get a VLAN bitmap. Each bit in the bitmap
is associated with a vlan id. This way if the bit corresponding to
the vid is set in the bitmap that the packet with vid is allowed to
enter and exit the port.

Write access the bitmap is protected by RTNL and read access
protected by RCU.

Vlan functionality is disabled by default.

BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING is boolean; if it were tristate, then adding
depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
to BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING would be a good fix. As it is currently,
making BRIDGE depend on the IPV6 config works.

bridge: Add core IGMP snooping support

This patch adds the core functionality of IGMP snooping support
without actually hooking it up. So this patch should be a no-op
as far as the bridge's external behaviour is concerned.

All the new code and data is controlled by the Kconfig option
BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING. A run-time toggle is also available.

The multicast switching is done using an hash table that is
lockless on the read-side through RCU. On the write-side the
new multicast_lock is used for all operations. The hash table
supports dynamic growth/rehashing.

The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a
preset limit. If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain
length then snooping will be disabled.

These features may be added in future (in no particular order):

* IGMPv3 source support
* Non-querier router detection
* IPv6

This allows link local multicast packets to be received by
other protocols (if they care), and uses the existing LLC
code to get STP packets back into bridge code.

The bridge multicast address is also checked, so bridges using
other link local multicast addresses are ignored. This allows
for use of different multicast addresses to define separate STP
domains.

[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols

Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.

The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.

Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
out where they belongs.
