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.

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.
