netmap: refactor logging macros and pipes

Changelist:
    - Replace ND, D and RD macros with nm_prdis, nm_prinf, nm_prerr
      and nm_prlim, to avoid possible naming conflicts.
    - Add netmap_krings_mode_commit() helper function and use that
      to reduce code duplication.
    - Refactor pipes control code to export some functions that
      can be reused by the veth driver (on Linux) and epair(4).
    - Add check to reject API requests with version less than 11.
    - Small code refactoring for the null adapter.

netmap: fix crash with monitors and VALE ports

Crash report described here:
    https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap/issues/583
Fixed by providing dummy sync callback in case it is missing.

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (sha 8374e1a7e6941)

Changelist:
    - Move large parts of VALE code to a new file and header netmap_bdg.[ch].
      This is useful to reuse the code within upcoming projects.
    - Improvements and bug fixes to pipes and monitors.
    - Introduce nm_os_onattach(), nm_os_onenter() and nm_os_onexit() to
      handle differences between FreeBSD and Linux.
    - Introduce some new helper functions to handle more host rings and fake
      rings (netmap_all_rings(), netmap_real_rings(), ...)
    - Added new sysctl to enable/disable hw checksum in emulated netmap mode.
    - nm_inject: add support for NS_MOREFRAG

This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and
Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco,
and brings in the following:

- fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports
  (the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic
  in parallel with the application)

- exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover
  from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey)

- revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode'
  (ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in
        S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo;
        Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking,
        ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015
        http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html

- fix rx CRC handing on ixl

- add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules

- minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync)

- general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros
  to access rings and remove duplicate code,

Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course
they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open).

Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the
sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD
and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months,
so this is a 10.1 candidate.

Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h).

In detail:

1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode.
  Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps
  with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode.

2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can
  better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access
  to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional
  argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer
  addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes
  are mechanical and trivial

3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync()
  driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical.

4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring
  port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic
  present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully.

5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features,
  experimental and disabled by default.
  Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1].
  Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the
  numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm,
  we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps).

A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files
in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing
of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts.

Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes
and to support more of the existing features.

This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline.

A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI,
including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.

MFC after:	3 days.
