If kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding is disabled, random(4)
and arc4random(9) will block indefinitely until enough entropy is available
to initially seed Fortuna.
It seems that zero flowids are perfectly valid, so avoid blocking on random
until initial seeding takes place.

This bring back r327293 from OpenBSD, with the important difference that
we are now getting it from their ip6_id.c file.

correct non-repetitive ID code, based on comments from niels provos.
- seed2 is necessary, but use it as "seed2 + x" not "seed2 ^ x".
- skipping number is not needed, so disable it for 16bit generator (makes
the repetition period to 30000)

netinet6/ip6_id.c: niels kindly dropped clause 3/4 from the license.
I was looking at the wrong file. There is an important merge that must be
done before I can bring this change.
This file is supposed to be based on the OpenBSD CVS v1.6 but checking
the OpenBSD repository the license had already dropped the 2&3 clasues by
then. Catch up with the licensing.

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.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

PF_INET6 in kernel. This fixes various malfunction when the wall time
clock is changed. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1000041.
- Use clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_FAST) in userland utilities.

have already done this, so I have styled the patch on their work:
1) introduce a ip_newid() static inline function that checks
the sysctl and then decides if it should return a sequential
or random IP ID.
2) named the sysctl net.inet.ip.random_id
3) IPv6 flow IDs and fragment IDs are now always random.
Flow IDs and frag IDs are significantly less common in the
IPv6 world (ie. rarely generated per-packet), so there should
be smaller performance concerns.
The sysctl defaults to 0 (sequential IP IDs).
