Forwarded packets passed through PFIL_OUT, which made it difficult for
firewalls to figure out if they were forwarding or producing packets. This in
turn is an issue for pf for IPv6 fragment handling: it needs to call
ip6_output() or ip6_forward() to handle the fragments. Figuring out which was
difficult (and until now, incorrect).
Having pfil distinguish the two removes an ugly piece of code from pf.
Introduce a new variant of the netpfil callbacks with a flags variable, which
has PFIL_FWD set for forwarded packets. This allows pf to reliably work out if
a packet is forwarded.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
size as they arrived in. This allows the sender to determine the optimal
fragment size by Path MTU Discovery.
Roughly based on the OpenBSD work by Alexander Bluhm.

otherwise bad consequences including a routing loop can occur.
Move pf_set_rt_ifp() earlier in state creation sequence and
inline it, cutting some extra code.

- Do not count global number of states and of src_nodes,
use uma_zone_get_cur() to obtain values.
- Struct pf_status becomes merely an ioctl API structure,
and moves to netpfil/pf/pf.h with its constants.
- V_pf_status is now of type struct pf_kstatus.

in net, to avoid compatibility breakage for no sake.
The future plan is to split most of non-kernel parts of
pfvar.h into pf.h, and then make pfvar.h a kernel only
include breaking compatibility.
