According with MISRA-C the value returned by a non-void function has
to be used. As memcpy return is almost useless, we are explicitly
ignoring it.

In IPv4 we need to select the network interface, where the packet
is to be sent, using the IPv4 address instead of default network
interface.

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.

If network based syslog backend is enabled in Kconfig file,
then syslog messages are sent to external system using UDP.
See RFC 5424 and RFC 5426 for details about the syslog protocol.
