Instead of always allocating both IPv6 and IPv4 address information
to every network interface, allow more fine grained address
configuration. So it is possible to have IPv6 or IPv4 only network
interfaces.
This commit introduces two new config options:
CONFIG_NET_IF_MAX_IPV4_COUNT and CONFIG_NET_IF_MAX_IPV6_COUNT
which tell how many IP address information structs are allocated
statically. At runtime when network interface is setup, it is then
possible to attach this IP address info struct to a specific
network interface. This can save considerable amount of memory
as the IP address information struct can be quite large (depends
on how many IP addresses user configures in the system).
Note that the value of CONFIG_NET_IF_MAX_IPV4_COUNT and
CONFIG_NET_IF_MAX_IPV6_COUNT should reflect the estimated number of
network interfaces in the system. So if if CONFIG_NET_IF_MAX_IPV6_COUNT
is set to 1 and there are two network interfaces that need IPv6
addresses, then the system will not be able to setup IPv6 addresses to
the second network interface in this case. This scenario might be
just fine if the second network interface is IPv4 only. The net_if.c
will print a warning during startup if mismatch about the counts and
the actual number of network interface is detected.

This should clear up some of the confusion with random number
generators and drivers that obtain entropy from the hardware. Also,
many hardware number generators have limited bandwidth, so it's natural
for their output to be only used for seeding a random number generator.

In many networking tests we had to configure SLIP in the prj.conf
leaving those configurations Qemu specific. This change enables SLIP for
QEMU targets automatically and allows reuse of prj.conf for multiple
boards.
Additionally, the TUN options is removed. This option was not used
anywhere.
To enable self-contained networking tests that do not depend on SLIP, we
introduce the new option NET_TEST which disables TAP and allows testing
in QEMU without the need for a host interface.

There have been long lasting confusion between net_buf and net_nbuf.
While the first is actually a buffer, the second one is not. It's a
network buffer descriptor. More precisely it provides meta data about a
network packet, and holds the chain of buffer fragments made of net_buf.
Thus renaming net_nbuf to net_pkt and all names around it as well
(function, Kconfig option, ..).
Though net_pkt if the new name, it still inherit its logic from net_buf.
'
This patch is the first of a serie that will separate completely net_pkt
from net_buf.

When we setup the network interface, add predefined IPv6 multicast
groups into the network interface. When interface is taken down,
then leave all the multicast groups that joined.
See RFC 4291 ch 2.8 for details.

If we receive lot of packets, it might happen that we exhaust
all the DATA buffers in the system. This would prevent from
us sending anything to the network.
Change this by splitting the DATA buffer pool into RX and TX
parts. This way RX flooding cannot consume all DATA buffers
that needs to be sent.
