Simplify HouseKeeping() to avoid several mul/div-s per packet. Taking into

With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

kernel module. LibAlias is not aware about checksum offloading,
so the caller should provide checksum calculation. (The only
current consumer is ng_nat(4)). When TCP packet internals has
been changed and it requires checksum recalculation, a cookie
is set in th_x2 field of TCP packet, to inform caller that it
needs to recalculate checksum. This ugly hack would be removed
when LibAlias is made more kernel friendly.
Incremental checksum updates are left as is, since they don't
conflict with offloading.

Makes it possible to have multiple packet aliasing instances in a
single process by moving all static and global variables into an
instance structure called "struct libalias".

Add new "instance" argument to all functions in the new API.
Implement old API in terms of the new API.
Skinny is the protocol used by Cisco IP phones to talk to Cisco Call
Managers. With this code, one can use a Cisco IP phone behind a FreeBSD
NAT gateway.
Currently, having the Call Manager behind the NAT gateway is not supported.
More information on enabling Skinny support in libalias, natd, and ppp
can be found in those applications' manpages.

PPTP links are no longer dropped by simple (and inappropriate in this
case) "inactivity timeout" procedure, only when requested through the
control connection.
It is now possible to have multiple PPTP servers running behind NAT.
Just redirect the incoming TCP traffic to port 1723, everything else
is done transparently.
Problems were reported and the fix was tested by:
Michael Adler <Michael.Adler@compaq.com>,
David Andersen <dga@lcs.mit.edu>
- Multiple PPTP clients behind NAT to the same or different servers.
- Single PPTP server behind NAT -- you just need to redirect TCP
port 1723 to a local machine. Multiple servers behind NAT is
possible but would require a simple API change.
- No API changes!
For more information on how this works see comments at the start of
the alias_pptp.c.
PacketAliasPptp() is no longer necessary and will be removed soon.

Add bounds checking to netbios NS packet resolving code. This should
prevent natd from crashing on badly formed netbios packets (as might be
heard when the machine is sitting on a cable modem or certain DSL
networks), and also closes potential security holes that might have
exploited the lack of bounds checking in the previous version of the
code.
