5ddc1e1310 Add retry mechanisms for Econet, so that if a four-way handshake doesn't
complete for some reason, we defer it for a bit and then try again.  This
gets ping down to 0% packet loss.

Of course, ping _should_ have been at 0% packet loss anyway, and that's the
next thing to deal with.

33d596bef8 Add support for incoming IP broadcast packets. The protocol for this is
worked out by observing RISC iX's behaviour, so it may be technically
wrong.  The only implementations of IP-over-Econet for which I've got
sources don't support broadcasts.

Tested using broadcast ping from RISC iX to NetBSD, and using rwhod.

91dae8ca83 Add minimal IP-over-Econet support and a load of bug-fixes. I can ping,
unreliably, between my RISC iX and NetBSD boxes with this.  There's a lot
of work to go before it's solid, though.

52b3d56b11 Add MI Econet support. This is lacking any interfaces to higher-layer
protocols, and lacking any timeouts, but it basically works, doing four-way
handshakes in both directions and incoming Machine Peek operations.

Oh, and Econet is Acorn's ancient, proprietary 500kbit/s networking
technology.
