Robert Watson 8c0fec805f Modify most routines returning 'struct ifaddr *' to return references
rather than pointers, requiring callers to properly dispose of those
references.  The following routines now return references:

  ifaddr_byindex
  ifa_ifwithaddr
  ifa_ifwithbroadaddr
  ifa_ifwithdstaddr
  ifa_ifwithnet
  ifaof_ifpforaddr
  ifa_ifwithroute
  ifa_ifwithroute_fib
  rt_getifa
  rt_getifa_fib
  IFP_TO_IA
  ip_rtaddr
  in6_ifawithifp
  in6ifa_ifpforlinklocal
  in6ifa_ifpwithaddr
  in6_ifadd
  carp_iamatch6
  ip6_getdstifaddr

Remove unused macro which didn't have required referencing:

  IFP_TO_IA6

This closes many small races in which changes to interface
or address lists while an ifaddr was in use could lead to use of freed
memory (etc).  In a few cases, add missing if_addr_list locking
required to safely acquire references.

Because of a lack of deep copying support, we accept a race in which
an in6_ifaddr pointed to by mbuf tags and extracted with
ip6_getdstifaddr() doesn't hold a reference while in transmit.  Once
we have mbuf tag deep copy support, this can be fixed.

This protocol implements IPX/SPX over Ethernet_II frame type 0x8137.
Please note: the SPX implementation may require further work and testing
to insure proper operation.

--- TODO ---

(1) netipx default socket buffer sizes are very small by contemporary
    standards, and should be increased following testing and measurement.

(2) SPX will free the PCB and socket buffer memory on close(), which means
    close() in effects terminates the transfer of any outstanding buffered
    but unsent data.  As with TCP, it should instead grab its own
    reference to the socket so that it is not released, as hold onto it
    until the data transfer is complete.
