drop the oldest entry in the queue.
There was a fair bit of discussion as to whether or not the
proper action is to drop a random entry in the queue. It's
my conclusion that a random drop is better than a head drop,
however profiling this section of code (done by John Capo)
shows that a head-drop results in a significant performance
increase.
There are scenarios where a random drop is more appropriate.
If I find one in reality, I'll add the random drop code under
a conditional.

pr_usrreq mechanism which was poorly designed and error-prone. This
commit renames pr_usrreq to pr_ousrreq so that old code which depended on it
would break in an obvious manner. This commit also implements the new
interface for TCP, although the old function is left as an example
(#ifdef'ed out). This commit ALSO fixes a longstanding bug in the
TCP timer processing (introduced by davidg on 1995/04/12) which caused
timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had
expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq()
to indicate that the TCB had been deleted). Finally, some code
related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not
relevant t -current and doesn't look at all like my current code.
This stuff should not be too destructive if the IPDIVERT is not compiled in..

- State when we've reached the limit on a particular rule in the kernel logfile
- State when a rule or all rules have been zero'd.
This gives a log of all actions that occur w/regard to the firewall
occurances, and can explain why a particular break-in attempt might not
get logged due to the limit being reached.

Reject the addition of rules that will never match (for example,
1.2.3.4:255.255.255.0). User level utilities specify the policy by either
masking the IP address for the user (as ipfw(8) does) or rejecting the
entry with an error. In either case, the kernel should not modify chain
entries to make them work.
