Convert socket structures to be type-stable and add a version number.

Define a parameter which indicates the maximum number of sockets in a
system, and use this to size the zone allocators used for sockets and
for certain PCBs.

Convert PF_LOCAL PCB structures to be type-stable and add a version number.

Define an external format for infomation about socket structures and use
it in several places.

Define a mechanism to get all PF_LOCAL and PF_INET PCB lists through
sysctl(3) without blocking network interrupts for an unreasonable
length of time. This probably still has some bugs and/or race
conditions, but it seems to work well enough on my machines.

It is now possible for `netstat' to get almost all of its information
via the sysctl(3) interface rather than reading kmem (changes to follow).

The long-awaited mega-massive-network-code- cleanup. Part I.

This commit includes the following changes:
1) Old-style (pr_usrreq()) protocols are no longer supported, the compatibility
glue for them is deleted, and the kernel will panic on boot if any are compiled
in.

2) Certain protocol entry points are modified to take a process structure,
so they they can easily tell whether or not it is possible to sleep, and
also to access credentials.

3) SS_PRIV is no more, and with it goes the SO_PRIVSTATE setsockopt()
call. Protocols should use the process pointer they are now passed.

4) The PF_LOCAL and PF_ROUTE families have been updated to use the new
style, as has the `raw' skeleton family.

5) PF_LOCAL sockets now obey the process's umask when creating a socket
in the filesystem.

As a result, LINT is now broken. I'm hoping that some enterprising hacker
with a bit more time will either make the broken bits work (should be
easy for netipx) or dike them out.

In accept1(), falloc() is called after the process has awoken, but prior
to removing the connection from the queue. The problem here is that
falloc() may block and this would allow another process to accept the
connection instead. If this happens to leave the queue empty, then the
system will panic with an "accept: nothing queued".

Also changed a wakeup() to a wakeup_one() to avoid the "thundering herd"
problem on new connections in Apache (or any other application that has
multiple processes blocked in accept() for the same socket).

Modify the kernel to use the new pr_usrreqs interface rather than the old
pr_usrreq mechanism which was poorly designed and error-prone. This
commit renames pr_usrreq to pr_ousrreq so that old code which depended on it
would break in an obvious manner. This commit also implements the new
interface for TCP, although the old function is left as an example
(#ifdef'ed out). This commit ALSO fixes a longstanding bug in the
TCP timer processing (introduced by davidg on 1995/04/12) which caused
timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had
expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq()
to indicate that the TCB had been deleted). Finally, some code
related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not
relevant t -current and doesn't look at all like my current code.

This is a proposal-in-code for a substantial modification of the way
the high kernel calls into a protocol stack to perform requests on the
user's behalf. We replace the pr_usrreq() entry in struct protosw with a
pointer to a structure containing pointers to functions which implement
the various reuqests; each function is declared with the correct type and
number of arguments. (This is unlike the current scheme in which a quarter
of the requests take arguments of type other than (struct mbuf *) and the
difference is papered over with casts.) There are a few benefits to this
new scheme:

1) Arguments are passed with their correct types, and null-pointer dummies
are no longer necessary.

2) There should be slightly better caching effects from eliminating
the prximity to extraneous code and th switch in pr_usrreq().

3) It becomes much easier to change the types of the arguments to something
other than `struct mbuf *' (e.g.,pushing the work of sosend() into
the protocol as advocated by Van Jacobson).

There is one principal drawback: existing protocol stacks need to
be modified. This is alleviated by compatibility code in
uipc_socket2.c and uipc_domain.c which emulates the new interface
in terms of the old and vice versa.

This idea is not original to me. I read about what Jacobson did
in one of his papers and have tried to implement the first steps
towards something like that here. Much work remains to be done.
