gethostname()'s old and new signatures without requiring a library
bump. Note that programs which called gethostname() with a negative
argument were already broken, since the same type conversion was done
by the old implementation. Add a note in the Makefile so that whoever
next bumps the libc revision will delete the kluge at the same time
(as it will no longer be necessary). This is only operative on 64-bit
platforms.

count handling of station entries in hostap mode:
Input path:
o driver is now expected to find the node associated with the
sender of a received frame; use ic_bss if none is located
o driver passes the (referenced) node into ieee80211_input for
use within the wlan module and is responsible for cleaning up
on return
o the antenna state is no longer passed up with each frame; this
is now considered driver-private state and drivers are responsible
for keeping it in the driver-private part of a node
Output path:
Revamp output path for management frames to eliminate redundant
locking that causes problems and to correct reference counting
bogosity that occurs when stations are timed out due to inactivity
(in AP mode). On output the refcnt'd node is stashed in the pkthdr's
recvif field (yech) and retrieved by the driver. This eliminates
an unref/ref scenario and related node table unlock/lock due to the
driver looking up the node. This is particularly important when
stations are timed out as this causes a lock order reversal that
can result in a deadlock. As a byproduct we also reduce the overhead
for sending management frames (minimal). Additional fallout from
this is a change to ieee80211_encap to return a refcn't node for
tieing to the outbound frame. Node refcnts are not reclaimed until
after a frame is completely processed (e.g. in the tx interrupt
handler). This is especially important for timed out stations as
this deref will be the final one causing the node entry to be
reclaimed.
Additional semi-related changes:
o replace m_copym use with m_copypacket (optimization)
o add assert to verify ic_bss is never free'd during normal operation
o add comments explaining calling conventions by drivers for frames
going in each direction
o remove extraneous code that "cannot be executed" (e.g. because
pointers may never be null)
that caused a 3-4 times slow down in performance.
(the primary Sparc64 developers are all using OFW_NEWPCI already, so it is
the best code path for users)
quietly discard them; this just permits them to be collected with bpf)
o add a counter for the number of rate control frames discarded when not in
monitor mode
o move the rx "too short" statistic in the stat structure so non-error rx stats
are together (NB: ABI change to apps that collect stats via driver ioctl)
mistakes (this mistake was not an issue because the length is only used to
decide whether or not to allocate a cluster)
o while here, move a beacon length comment to the "right place"
when the buffer is not long enough to hold the current host name.
POSIX does not standardize error returns for gethostname(), so it
doesn't matter which one we use, but ENAMETOOLONG is at least a little
more intuitive, and mi suggests the existence of prior art. I've been
running with this change for a while on my home machine with no
effect. At the same time, I've updated the prototype for
gethostname() to use the correct standard type (size_t) for the
namelen argument.
All of the in-tree callers fall into one of the following categories:
1) Call perror() or equivalent when gethostname() fails.
2) Ignore gethostname()'s return value entirely, potentially resulting
in data corruption if the buffer is too small.
3) Fall back to a (possibly sensible) default value if gethostname()
fails.
Many of the callers I examined shows signs of confusion about the
correct sizing of the host name buffer. gethostname(3) now has more
information about this, as well as updated standards information.

After an unappropriate rescheduling of some of the bw_meter
entries, the upcalls weren't delivered.
* pim_register_prepare() uses the appropriate sw_csum flag to
call ip_fragment() so the IP checksum is computed properly.
* Modify pim_register_prepare() to take care of IP packets that
don't need fragmentation.
* Add-back in_delayed_cksum() to encap_send(), because it seems it
should be there.

is resulting from moving the libraries around.
I have a more permanent solution to this problem in the works, but I
asked des for permission to commit this to get the ball rolling. This
also makes the ssh build more along the lines of what the openssh-portable
and OpenBSD openssh Makefile glue does.

was mistakenly calling the standard isnumber() function to find out if
the given 'user' or 'group' were all numeric. This meant that only the
first character of the fields were actually checked, so a username of
(say) '3com' would look like a number, and thus get mapped to uid=3 (bin)
instead of username=3com.
This bug was introduced back in freebsd's v1.1. That initial import
almost matches netbsd's v1.9, except that an internal isnumber()
routine was removed in favor of the standard library version. The thing
is, that internal routine was checking the entire string, and not just
the first digit. In OpenBSD, isnumber() was eventually renamed to
isnumberstr() to make the distinction more obvious, and I'm going to
follow that lead.
I believe this also happens to remove the last references to isnumber()
in the entire freebsd base system.
