Add a queue to hold packets while we await an ARP reply.

When a fast machine first brings up some non TCP networking program
it is quite possible that we will drop packets due to the fact that
only one packet can be held per ARP entry.  This leads to packets
being missed when a program starts or restarts if the ARP data is
not currently in the ARP cache.

This code adds a new sysctl, net.link.ether.inet.maxhold, which defines
a system wide maximum number of packets to be held in each ARP entry.
Up to maxhold packets are queued until an ARP reply is received or
the ARP times out.  The default setting is the old value of 1
which has been part of the BSD networking code since time
immemorial.

Expose the time we hold an incomplete ARP entry by adding
the sysctl net.link.ether.inet.wait, which defaults to 20
seconds, the value used when the new ARP code was added..

* Description: The following is a test of the arp entry packet queues
* which replaced the single packet hold entry that existed in the BSDs
* since time immemorial. The test process is:
*
* 1) Find out the current system limit (maxhold)
* 2) Using an IP address for which we do not yet have an entry
* load up an ARP entry packet queue with exactly that many packets.
* 3) Check the arp dropped stat to make sure that we have not dropped
* any packets as yet.
* 4) Add one more packet to the queue.
* 5) Make sure that only one packet was dropped.
*
* CAVEAT: The ARP timer will flush the queue after 1 second so it is
* important not to run this code in a fast loop or the test will
* fail.
