Functional changes:
- Cut struct source_hookinfo. Just use hook_p pointer.
- Remove "start_now" command. "start" command now requires number of
packets to send as argument. "start" command actually starts sending.
Move the code that actually starts sending from ng_source_rcvmsg()
to ng_source_start().
- Remove check for NG_SOURCE_ACTIVE in ng_source_stop(). We can be called
with flag cleared (see begin of ng_source_intr()).
- If NG_SEND_DATA_ONLY() use log(LOG_DEBUG) instead of printf(). Otherwise
we will *flood* console.
- Add ng_connect_t method, which sends NGM_ETHER_GET_IFNAME command
to "output" hook. Cut ng_source_request_output_ifp(). Refactor
ng_source_store_output_ifp() to use ifunit() and don't muck through
interface list.
- Add "setiface" command, which gives ability to configure interface
in case when ng_source_connect() failed. This happens, when we are not
connected directly to ng_ether(4) node.
- Remove KASSERTs, which can never fire.
- Don't check for M_PKTHDR in rcvdata method. netgraph(4) does this
for us.
Style:
- Assign sc_p = NG_NODE_PRIVATE(node) in declaration, to be
consistent with style of other nodes.
- Sort variables.
- u_intXX -> uintXX.
- Dots at ends of comments.

Also introduce a macro to be called by persistent nodes to signal their
persistence during shutdown to hide this mechanism from the node author.
Make node flags have a consistent style in naming.
Document the change.
introducing a START_NOW command. This command does not send
and GET_IFINDEX message downstream (to wait for the response from
the ETHERNET node), but directly starts the sending process. This allows
one to generate traffic as input for any hook on any node.
the mbuf allocator flags {M_TRYWAIT, M_DONTWAIT}.
o Fix a bpf_compat issue where malloc() was defined to just call
bpf_alloc() and pass the 'canwait' flag(s) along. It's been changed
to call bpf_alloc() but pass the corresponding M_TRYWAIT or M_DONTWAIT
flag (and only one of those two).

This is NOT YET CONVERTED TO -current.
This node is a source for preprogrammed packets at a known rate for testing.
I will convert it to -current "in place" but will MFC teh original
pre-conversion variant as that is what is originally submitted.
