hselasky 12fec3618b Start process of removing the use of the deprecated "M_FLOWID" flag
from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.

This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.

"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.

Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.
