The kernel can have multiple ARP/NDP entries which have an indentical
destination on different interfaces. This is normal and can be
reproduce easily by ping -I or ping6 -S. We should be able to remove
such entries.
arp -d <ip> and ndp -d <ip> are changed to fetch all ARP/NDP entries
and remove matched entries. So we can remove multiple entries
described above. This fetch all and selective removal behavior is
the same as arp <ip> and ndp <ip>; they also do fetch all entries
and show only matched entries.

By this change, nexthop caches (IP-MAC address pair) are not stored
in the routing table anymore. Instead nexthop caches are stored in
each network interface; we already have lltable/llentry data structure
for this purpose. This change also obsoletes the concept of cloning/cloned
routes. Cloned routes no longer exist while cloning routes still exist
with renamed to connected routes.
Noticeable changes are:
- Nexthop caches aren't listed in route show/netstat -r
- sysctl(NET_RT_DUMP) doesn't return them
- If RTF_LLDATA is specified, it returns nexthop caches
- Several definitions of routing flags and messages are removed
- RTF_CLONING, RTF_XRESOLVE, RTF_LLINFO, RTF_CLONED and RTM_RESOLVE
- RTF_CONNECTED is added
- It has the same value of RTF_CLONING for backward compatibility
- route's -xresolve, -[no]cloned and -llinfo options are removed
- -[no]cloning remains because it seems there are users
- -[no]connected is introduced and recommended
to be used instead of -[no]cloning
- route show/netstat -r drops some flags
- 'L' and 'c' are not seen anymore
- 'C' now indicates a connected route
- Gateway value of a route of an interface address is now not
a L2 address but "link#N" like a connected (cloning) route
- Proxy ARP: "arp -s ... pub" doesn't create a route
You can know details of behavior changes by seeing diffs under tests/.
Proposed on tech-net and tech-kern:

arp(8) uses RTM that requires that getpid(2) works correctly. Unfortunately
supporting getpid(2) in librumphijack will be tricky so that we rump-ify
arp(8) as well as ifconfig and route commands.
Suggested by pooka@.
RT_ prefix and use them appropriately, instead of making copies. Make
pppd use the RT_ROUNDUP macro; fixes proxyarp setting on 64 bit hosts.
XXX: All this should be pulled up to 5.0
