* Reworked the complete stack to allow more than one address per network
interface - this caused quite a number of changes.
* Network interfaces, and its addresses are now reference counted (not yet
complete, though, InterfaceAddresses need to hold references to their
interface as well).
* There are two known regressions of this commit that I will fix later:
- you cannot remove interfaces anymore
- IPv4 multicast was broken anyway, but now it's disabled, too.
* Moved a device_interfaces.cpp|h out of interfaces.cpp.
* The datalink layer chain is now instantiated per domain per interface,
not just per interface anymore.
* When a buffer reaches the network layer, it has no known interface yet, ie.
the ipv4|6|whatever modules need to set this manually.
* Added more debug output, and some new debugger commands, the control option
is now printed in clear text.
* Added hash_address() function to the address modules. Added "const" to
set_to_defaults() where needed.
* Fixed net_buffer's restore header functions offset use as reported by Atis.
* Improved buffer dump output, use the domain module to print the address if
available.
* Moved net_buffer::type into the union, as it's not needed by the upper layers
anymore.
* Moved IPv6 specific code from {add|remove}_default_route() to where it
belongs, but disabled it for the time being.
* Completely discarded useless ipv4_datagram module.
* Added ping6 to the build.

* Applied next work in progress patch by Atis that takes into account most of
my comments so far. Thanks!

Work in progress commit by Atis Elsts (I'm posting his ChangeLog comments
directly here), I made only a few style changes:
* introduced 'has_broadcast_address' field in
struct net_address_module_info
- REVIEW: the name, and the status of this field for UNIX and L2CAP
families
* ipv6 address family support
* ipv6 address printing
* ipv6 protocol support
* ipv6 multicast support
- TODO: add and remove multicast routes in a more proper way
- TODO: support MLD
* ipv6 datalink protocol support
* icmpv6 protocol support (EchoRequest and EchoResponse messages)
* ipv6 neigbor discovery protocol support
(Advertisement and Solicitation messages)
- TODO: only the very basic support is present,
the protocol state machine is by no means completed
- TODO: replying to Solicitation does not work too good ATM
(visible, when pinging Haiku from outside)
* added Jenkin's hash algorith
* minor changes in existing IPv4 code - cleanup function
ipv4_get_loopback_address(), written by myself
* add tests: raw, udp, tcp/udp, mullicast sender
* add 'hoplimit' field in struct net_buffer
- TODO: this is just a hack, more generic approach would be better.
* add 'receive_data' function pointer in
struct net_datalink_protocol_module_info
- TODO: this is also more like a hack, to support information
passing from ICMPv6 to IPv6_datagram level.

added join_multicast/leave_multicast to datalink protocols, preparing for full multicast support.
