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.

This commit (temporarily) leaves MINIX 3 without a TCP/IP service.
Thanks go out to Philip Homburg for providing this TCP/IP stack in the
first place. It has served MINIX well for a long time.

This new implementation of the UDS service is built on top of the
libsockevent library. It thereby inherits all the advantages that
libsockevent brings. However, the fundamental restructuring
required for that change also paved the way for resolution of a
number of other important open issues with the old UDS code. Most
importantly, the rewrite brings the behavior of the service much
closer to POSIX compliance and NetBSD compatibility. These are the
most important changes:
- due to the use of libsockevent, UDS now supports multiple suspending
calls per socket and a large number of standard socket flags and
options;
- socket address matching is now based on <device,inode> lookups
instead of canonized path names, and socket addresses are no longer
altered either due to canonization or at connect time;
- the socket state machine is now well defined, most importantly
resolving the erroneous reset-on-EOF semantics of the old UDS, but
also allowing socket reuse;
- sockets are now connected before being accepted instead of being
held in connecting state, unless the LOCAL_CONNWAIT option is set
on either the connecting or the listening socket;
- connect(2) on datagram sockets is now supported (needed by syslog),
and proper datagram socket disconnect notification is provided;
- the receive queue now supports segmentation, associating ancillary
data (in-flight file descriptors and credentials) with each segment
instead of being kept fully separately; this is a POSIX requirement
(and needed by tmux);
- as part of the segmentation support, the receive queue can now hold
as many packets as can fit, instead of one;
- in addition to the flags supported by libsockevent, the MSG_PEEK,
MSG_WAITALL, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC, MSG_TRUNC, and MSG_CTRUNC send and
receive flags are now supported;
- the SO_PASSCRED and SO_PEERCRED socket options are replaced by
LOCAL_CREDS and LOCAL_PEEREID respectively, now following NetBSD
semantics and allowing use of NetBSD libc's getpeereid(3);
- memory usage is reduced by about 250 KB due to centralized in-flight
file descriptor tracking, with a limit of OPEN_MAX total rather than
of OPEN_MAX per socket;
- memory usage is reduced by another ~50 KB due to removal of state
redundancy, despite the fact that socket path names may now be up to
253 bytes rather than the previous 104 bytes;
- compared to the old UDS, there is now very little direct indexing on
the static array of sockets, thus allowing dynamic allocation of
sockets more easily in the future;
- the UDS service now has RMIB support for the net.local sysctl tree,
implementing preliminary support for NetBSD netstat(1).

The getnucred() function was used by UDS to obtain credentials of user
processes in a form used in the UDS API, namely the ucred structure.
Since the NetBSD merge, this structure has changed drastically (aside
from being renamed to "uucred"), and it is no longer in UDS's best
interest to use this structure internally. Therefore, getnucred() is
no longer a useful API either, and instead we directly use the
previously private getepinfo() function to obtain credentials.

This patch prepares for moving of the creation of socket files on the
file system from the libc bind(2) stub into the UDS service. This
change is necessary for the socket type agnostic libc implementation.
The change is not yet activated - the code that is not yet used is
enclosed in "#if NOT_YET" blocks. The activation needs to be atomic
with UDS's switch to libsockdriver; otherwise, user applications may
break.
As part of the change, various UDS bind(2) semantics are changed to
match the POSIX standard and other operating systems. In
implementation terms, the service-only VFS API checkperms(2) is
renamed to socketpath(2), and extended with a new subcall which
creates a new socket file. An extension to test56 checks the new
bind(2) semantics of UDS, although most new tests are still disabled
until activation as well.
Finally, as further preparation for a more structural redesign of the
UDS service, also return the <device,inode> number pair for the
created or checked file name, and make returning the canonized path
name optional.

Now that clock_t is an unsigned value, we can also allow the system
uptime to wrap. Essentially, instead of using (a <= b) to see if time
a occurs no later than time b, we use (b - a <= CLOCK_MAX / 2). The
latter value does not exist, so instead we add TMRDIFF_MAX for that
purpose.
We must therefore also avoid using values like 0 and LONG_MAX as
special values for absolute times. This patch extends the libtimers
interface so that it no longer uses 0 to indicate "no timeout".
Similarly, TMR_NEVER is now used as special value only when
otherwise a relative time difference would be used. A minix_timer
structure is now considered in use when it has a watchdog function set,
rather than when the absolute expiry time is not TMR_NEVER. A few new
macros in <minix/timers.h> help with timer comparison and obtaining
properties from a minix_timer structure.
This patch also eliminates the union of timer arguments, instead using
the only union element that is only used (the integer). This prevents
potential problems with e.g. live update. The watchdog function
prototype is changed to pass in the argument value rather than a
pointer to the timer structure, since obtaining the argument value was
the only current use of the timer structure anyway. The result is a
somewhat friendlier timers API.
The VFS select code required a few more invasive changes to restrict
the timer value to the new maximum, effectively matching the timer
code in PM. As a side effect, select(2) has been changed to reject
invalid timeout values. That required a change to the test set, which
relied on the previous, erroneous behavior.
Finally, while we're rewriting significant chunks of the timer code
anyway, also covert it to KNF and add a few more explanatory comments.

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.

Please note that this information is for use by system services only!
The clock facility is not ready to be used directly by userland, and
thus, this kernel page extension is NOT part of the userland ABI.
For service programmers' convenience, change the prototype of the
getticks(3) to return the uptime clock value directly, since the call
can no longer fail.
Correct the sys_times(2) reply message to use the right field type
for the boot time.
Restructure the kernel internals a bit so as to have all the clock
stuff closer together.

Previously, services would obtain the user ID of "service" through
getpwnam(3). While this approach is conceptually better, it also
imposes linking against libc which in turn causes problems with
printf(3), which already led to PFS no longer dropping privileges at
all. For now, we hardcode SERVICE_UID and use that instead.
In the future, two changes should allow removal of SERVICE_UID again:
- "service edit" should cause RS to request that a service (such as
PFS) drop privileges through SEF, using the user ID resolved by
service(8), or something similar;
- a future devfs should make it possible for inet to start without
root privileges altogether.

- synchronize request type with ioctl by making it unsigned long;
- unbreak VFS requests, as they were being sent to PM;
- use proper ioctl direction flags (and new numbers) for requests;
- remove some needless header inclusions;
- svrctl is in libc, make its message name reflect this;
- keep backward compatibility: svrctl is part of the userland ABI.
