In case of errors, the cleanup was not consistent.
Thanks to Felix Weinrank for fuzzing the userland stack and making
me aware of the issue.

cem noted that on FreeBSD snprintf() can not fail and code should not
check for that.
A followup commit will replace the usage of snprintf() in the SCTP
sources with a variadic macro SCTP_SNPRINTF, which will simply map to
snprintf() on FreeBSD and do a checking similar to r361209 on
other platforms.
This change is build on top of nexthop objects introduced in r359823.
Nexthops are separate datastructures, containing all necessary information
to perform packet forwarding such as gateway interface and mtu. Nexthops
are shared among the routes, providing more pre-computed cache-efficient
data while requiring less memory. Splitting the LPM code and the attached
data solves multiple long-standing problems in the routing layer,
drastically reduces the coupling with outher parts of the stack and allows
to transparently introduce faster lookup algorithms.
Route caching was (re)introduced to minimise (slow) routing lookups, allowing
for notably better performance for large TCP senders. Caching works by
acquiring rtentry reference, which is protected by per-rtentry mutex.
If the routing table is changed (checked by comparing the rtable generation id)
or link goes down, cache record gets withdrawn.
Nexthops have the same reference counting interface, backed by refcount(9).
This change merely replaces rtentry with the actual forwarding nextop as a
cached object, which is mostly mechanical. Other moving parts like cache
cleanup on rtable change remains the same.

Finish what was started a few years ago and harmonize IPv6 and IPv4
kernel names. We are down to very few places now that it is feasible
to do the change for everything remaining with causing too much disturbance.
Remove "aliases" for IPv6 names which confusingly could indicate
that we are talking about a different data structure or field or
have two fields, one for each address family.
Try to follow common conventions used in FreeBSD.
* Rename sin6p to sin6 as that is how it is spelt in most places.
* Remove "aliases" (#defines) for:
- in6pcb which really is an inpcb and nothing separate
- sotoin6pcb which is sotoinpcb (as per above)
- in6p_sp which is inp_sp
- in6p_flowinfo which is inp_flow
* Try to use ia6 for in6_addr rather than in6p.
* With all these gone also rename the in6p variables to inp as
that is what we call it in most of the network stack including
parts of netinet6.
The reasons behind this cleanup are that we try to further
unify netinet and netinet6 code where possible and that people
will less ignore one or the other protocol family when doing
code changes as they may not have spotted places due to different
names for the same thing.
No functional changes.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
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.
The tools using to generate the sources has been updated and produces
different whitespaces. Commit this seperately to avoid intermixing
these with real code changes.

This is currently only a code change without any functional
change. But this allows to set the remote encapsulation port
in a more detailed way, which will be provided in a follow-up
commit.

eliminiates some warnings when building in userland.
Thanks to Patrick Laimbock for reporting this issue.
Remove also some unnecessary casts.
There should be no functional change.
