#ifdef KERNEL's added appropriately to wall off visibility of kernel
routines from user code.
Add ICMP_BANDLIM option and 'net.inet.icmp.icmplim' sysctl. If option
is specified in kernel config, icmplim defaults to 100 pps. Setting it
to 0 will disable the feature. This feature limits ICMP error responses
for packets sent to bad tcp or udp ports, which does a lot to help the
machine handle network D.O.S. attacks.
The kernel will report packet rates that exceed the limit at a rate of
one kernel printf per second. There is one issue in regards to the
'tail end' of an attack... the kernel will not output the last report
until some unrelated and valid icmp error packet is return at some
point after the attack is over. This is a minor reporting issue only.

Add a knob "icmp_bmcastecho" to "rc.network" to allow this
behaviour to be controlled from "rc.conf".
Document the controlling sysctl variable "net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho"
in sysctl(3).

net.inet.ip.icmp.bmcastecho = 0 by removing the extra check for the
address being a multicast address. The test now relies on the link
layer flags that indicate it was received via multicast. The previous
logic was broken and replied to ICMP echo/timestamp broadcasts even
when the sysctl option disallowed them.

potential problems with other automatic-reply ICMPs, but some of them may
depend on broadcast/multicast to operate. (This code can simply be
moved to the `reflect' label to generalize it.)
Don't search for interface addresses matching interface "NULL"

this can be triggered by the ipfw code rejecting a locally generated
packet (e.g. you decide to make some network unreachable by local users)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

using the third arg but fixing this is beyond the scope of this round
