This commit adds a new TCP/IP service to MINIX 3. As its core, the
service uses the lwIP TCP/IP stack for maintenance reasons. The
service aims to be compatible with NetBSD userland, including its
low-level network management utilities. It also aims to support
modern features such as IPv6. In summary, the new LWIP service has
support for the following main features:
- TCP, UDP, RAW sockets with mostly standard BSD API semantics;
- IPv6 support: host mode (complete) and router mode (partial);
- most of the standard BSD API socket options (SO_);
- all of the standard BSD API message flags (MSG_);
- the most used protocol-specific socket and control options;
- a default loopback interface and the ability to create one more;
- configuration-free ethernet interfaces and driver tracking;
- queuing and multiple concurrent requests to each ethernet driver;
- standard ioctl(2)-based BSD interface management;
- radix tree backed, destination-based routing;
- routing sockets for standard BSD route reporting and management;
- multicast traffic and multicast group membership tracking;
- Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) devices;
- standard and custom sysctl(7) nodes for many internals;
- a slab allocation based, hybrid static/dynamic memory pool model.
Many of its modules come with fairly elaborate comments that cover
many aspects of what is going on. The service is primarily a socket
driver built on top of the libsockdriver library, but for BPF devices
it is at the same time also a character driver.

At a point not too far in the future, we will be switching from the
hardcoded MINIX3 implementation of the getifaddrs(3) libc routine to
the proper NetBSD implementation. The latter uses the
net.route.rtable sysctl functionality to obtain its information. In
order make the transition as painless as possible, this patch adds
basic support for that net.route.rtable functionality to INET and
LWIP, using the remote MIB (RMIB) facility.

While BSD make support both $() and ${} around variables, the NetBSD
source tree uses only ${} by convention.
Imported software is left as is, and sometimes $() is used when the
containing Makefile/Makefile fragment is used both by GNU make and BSD
make, as it can happen for the tools, and other parts as well which are
compiled using the host make tool.
