sam b16cb0a948 Correct mbuf packet header propagation. Previously, packet headers
were sometimes propagated using M_COPY_PKTHDR which actually did
something between a "move" and a  "copy" operation.  This is replaced
by M_MOVE_PKTHDR (which copies the pkthdr contents and "removes" it
from the source mbuf) and m_dup_pkthdr which copies the packet
header contents including any m_tag chain.  This corrects numerous
problems whereby mbuf tags could be lost during packet manipulations.

These changes also introduce arguments to m_tag_copy and m_tag_copy_chain
to specify if the tag copy work should potentially block.  This
introduces an incompatibility with openbsd which we may want to revisit.

Note that move/dup of packet headers does not handle target mbufs
that have a cluster bound to them.  We may want to support this;
for now we watch for it with an assert.

Finally, M_COPYFLAGS was updated to include M_FIRSTFRAG|M_LASTFRAG.
