carp: support VRRPv3

Allow carp(4) to use the VRRPv3 protocol (RFC 5798). We can distinguish carp and
VRRP based on the protocol version number (carp is 2, VRRPv3 is 3), and support
both from the carp(4) code.

protosw: separate pr_input and pr_ctlinput out of protosw

The protosw KPI historically has implemented two quite orthogonal
things: protocols that implement a certain kind of socket, and
protocols that are IPv4/IPv6 protocol. These two things do not
make one-to-one correspondence. The pr_input and pr_ctlinput methods
were utilized only in IP protocols. This strange duality required
IP protocols that doesn't have a socket to declare protosw, e.g.
carp(4). On the other hand developers of socket protocols thought
that they need to define pr_input/pr_ctlinput always, which lead to
strange dead code, e.g. div_input() or sdp_ctlinput().

With this change pr_input and pr_ctlinput as part of protosw disappear
and IPv4/IPv6 get their private single level protocol switch table
ip_protox[] and ip6_protox[] respectively, pointing at array of
ipproto_input_t functions. The pr_ctlinput that was used for
control input coming from the network (ICMP, ICMPv6) is now represented
by ip_ctlprotox[] and ip6_ctlprotox[].

ipproto_register() becomes the only official way to register in the
table. Those protocols that were always static and unlikely anybody
is interested in making them loadable, are now registered by ip_init(),
ip6_init(). An IP protocol that considers itself unloadable shall
register itself within its own private SYSINIT().

sys: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

No functional change intended.


# 338e227a 25-Jan-2017 Luiz Otavio O Souza <loos@FreeBSD.org>

After the in_control() changes in r257692, an existing address is
(intentionally) deleted first and then completely added again (so all the
events, announces and hooks are given a chance to run).

This cause an issue with CARP where the existing CARP data structure is
removed together with the last address for a given VHID, which will cause
a subsequent fail when the address is later re-added.

This change fixes this issue by adding a new flag to keep the CARP data
structure when an address is not being removed.

There was an additional issue with IPv6 CARP addresses, where the CARP data
structure would never be removed after a change and lead to VHIDs which
cannot be destroyed.

Resolve source address selection in presense of CARP. Add a couple
of helper functions:

- carp_master() - boolean function which is true if an address
is in the MASTER state.
- ifa_preferred() - boolean function that compares two addresses,
and is aware of CARP.

Utilize ifa_preferred() in ifa_ifwithnet().

The previous version of patch also changed source address selection
logic in jails using carp_master(), but we failed to negotiate this part
with Bjoern. May be we will approach this problem again later.

# f08535f8 20-Dec-2011 Gleb Smirnoff <glebius@FreeBSD.org>

Restore a feature that was present in 5.x and 6.x, and was cleared in
7.x, 8.x and 9.x with pf(4) imports: pfsync(4) should suppress CARP
preemption, while it is running its bulk update.

However, reimplement the feature in more elegant manner, that is
partially inspired by newer OpenBSD:

- Rename term "suppression" to "demotion", to match with OpenBSD.
- Keep a global demotion factor, that can be raised by several
conditions, for now these are:
- interface goes down
- carp(4) has problems with ip_output() or ip6_output()
- pfsync performs bulk update
- Unlike in OpenBSD the demotion factor isn't a counter, but
is actual value added to advskew. The adjustment values for
particular error conditions are also configurable, and their
defaults are maximum advskew value, so a single failure bumps
demotion to maximum. This is for POLA compatibility, and should
satisfy most users.
- Demotion factor is a writable sysctl, so user can do
foot shooting, if he desires to.


# 08b68b0e 15-Dec-2011 Gleb Smirnoff <glebius@FreeBSD.org>

A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

Allow carp(4) to be loaded as a kernel module. Follow precedent set by
bridge(4), lagg(4) etc. and make use of function pointers and
pf_proto_register() to hook carp into the network stack.

Currently, because of the uncertainty about whether the unload path is free
of race condition panics, unloads are disallowed by default. Compiling with
CARPMOD_CAN_UNLOAD in CFLAGS removes this anti foot shooting measure.

This commit requires IP6PROTOSPACER, introduced in r211115.
