In order to validate the proper marking and use of a different
ethernet priority class, add the new session-specific PCP
feature to the ping/ping6 utilities.

ping's default is now not to attempt reverse DNS lookups. The -H flag will
enable them. This change is not quite a reversion of r351330. That change
made the happy path and error path do reverse lookups consistently; this
change changes the default for both paths.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

wait time for a packet. This allows to:
- Count number of packets received before and after specified
time.
- Shorten time of execution of 'ping -c 1' scripts.

ping ICMP payload of packets being sent is increased with given step.
Sweeping pings are useful for testing problematic channels, MTU
issues or traffic policing functions in networks.

This fulfills the host requirements for userland support by
way of the setsockopt() IP_EVIL_INTENT message.
There are three sysctl tunables provided to govern system behavior.
net.inet.ip.rfc3514:
Enables support for rfc3514. As this is an
Informational RFC and support is not yet widespread
this option is disabled by default.
net.inet.ip.hear_no_evil
If set the host will discard all received evil packets.
net.inet.ip.speak_no_evil
If set the host will discard all transmitted evil packets.
The IP statistics counter 'ips_evil' (available via 'netstat') provides
information on the number of 'evil' packets recieved.
For reference, the '-E' option to 'ping' has been provided to demonstrate
and test the implementation.

right; after a single packet was dropped it beeped after every
transmission.
Change its implementation to only output a bell when there is an
increase in the maximum value of the number of packets that were
sent but not yet received. This has the benefit that even for very
long round-trip times, ping -A will do roughly the right thing
after a few inital false-positives.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
add an upper limit to -t
match the types of return values and the variables they are stuffed in
