6ca363eb7b Existense of PCB route caching doesn't allow us to use new fast route
lookup KPI in ip_output() like it is already used in ip_forward().
However, when there is no PCB provided we can use fast KPI, gaining
performance advantage.

Typical case when ip_output() is called without a PCB pointer is a
sendto(2) on a not connected UDP socket. In practice DNS servers do
this.

fbbd9655e5 Renumber copyright clause 4
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

65ff3638df Merge helper fib* functions used for basic lookups.
Vast majority of rtalloc(9) users require only basic info from
route table (e.g. "does the rtentry interface match with the interface
  I have?". "what is the MTU?", "Give me the IPv4 source address to use",
  etc..).
Instead of hand-rolling lookups, checking if rtentry is up, valid,
  dealing with IPv6 mtu, finding "address" ifp (almost never done right),
  provide easy-to-use API hiding all the complexity and returning the
  needed info into small on-stack structure.

This change also helps hiding route subsystem internals (locking, direct
  rtentry accesses).
Additionaly, using this API improves lookup performance since rtentry is not
  locked.
(This is safe, since all the rtentry changes happens under both radix WLOCK
  and rtentry WLOCK).
