Once again this was a long journey to reach the destination: Allow to
instantiate slirp multiple times. But as in the past, the journey was
worthwhile, cleaning up, fixing and enhancing various parts of the user
space network stack along the way.
What is this particular change good for? Multiple slirps instances
allow separated user space networks for guests with multiple NICs. This
is already possible, but without any slirp support for the second
network, ie. without a chance to talk to that network from the host via
IP. We have a legacy guest system here that benefits from this slirp
enhancement, allowing us to run both of its NICs purely over
unprivileged user space IP stacks.
Another benefit of this patch is that it simply removes an artificial
restriction of the configuration space qemu is providing, avoiding
another source of surprises that users may face when playing with
possible setups.

Allocate the internal slirp state dynamically and provide and call
slirp_cleanup to properly release it after use. This patch finally
unbreaks slirp release and re-instantiation via host_net_* monitor
commands.

This now also exports the internal state to the slirp users in qemu,
returning it from slirp_init and expecting it along with service
invocations. Additionally provide an opaque value interface for the
callbacks from slirp into the qemu core.

The essence of this patch is to stuff (almost) all global variables of
the slirp stack into the structure Slirp. In this step, we still keep
the structure as global variable, directly accessible by the whole
stack. Changes to the external interface of slirp will be applied in
the following patches.

As agreed on the mailing list, there is no interest in keeping the
usually disabled slirp statistics in the tree. So this patch removes
them.

After all its years inside the qemu tree, there is no point in keeping
the dead code paths of slirp. This patch is a first round of removing
usually commented out code parts. More cleanups need to follow (and
maybe finally a proper reindention).

The user mode IP stack is currently only minimally configurable /wrt to
its virtual IP addresses. This is unfortunate if some guest has a fixed
idea of which IP addresses to use.
Therefore this patch prepares the stack for fully configurable IP
addresses and masks. The user interface and default addresses remain
untouched in this step, they will be enhanced in the following patch.

We want to globally define WIN_LEAN_AND_MEAN and WINVER to particular values so
let's do it in OS_CFLAGS.
Then, we can pepper in windows.h includes where using #includes that require it.
