dc6a41b936 Add the infrastructure to support loading multiple versions of TCP
stack modules.

It adds support for mangling symbols exported by a module by prepending
a string to them. (This avoids overlapping symbols in the kernel linker.)

It allows the use of a macro as the module name in the DECLARE_MACRO()
and MACRO_VERSION() macros.

It allows the code to register stack aliases (e.g. both a generic name
["default"] and version-specific name ["default_10_3p1"]).

With these changes, it is trivial to compile TCP stack modules with
the name defined in the Makefile and to load multiple versions of the
same stack simultaneously. This functionality can be used to enable
side-by-side testing of an old and new version of the same TCP stack.
It also could support upgrading the TCP stack without a reboot.

587d67c008 Here we update the modular tcp to be able to switch to an
alternate TCP stack in other then the closed state (pre-listen/connect).
The idea is that *if* that is supported by the alternate stack, it
is asked if its ok to switch. If it approves the "handoff" then we
allow the switch to happen. Also the fini() function now gets a flag
to tell if you are switching away *or* the tcb is destroyed. The
init() call into the alternate stack is moved to the end so the
tcb is more fully formed before the init transpires.
