This change allows the netstack to do NDP's Router Discovery as outlined by
RFC 4861 section 6.3.4.
Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default
configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that Router Discovery
will not be performed. See `stack.Options` and `stack.NDPConfigurations` for
more details.
This change introduces 2 options required to take advantage of Router Discovery,
all available under NDPConfigurations:
- HandleRAs: Whether or not NDP RAs are processes
- DiscoverDefaultRouters: Whether or not Router Discovery is performed
Another note: for a NIC to process Router Advertisements, it must not be a
router itself. Currently the netstack does not have per-interface routing
configuration; the routing/forwarding configuration is controlled stack-wide.
Therefore, if the stack is configured to enable forwarding/routing, no Router
Advertisements will be processed.
Tests: Unittest to make sure that Router Discovery and updates to the routing
table only occur if explicitly configured to do so. Unittest to make sure at
max stack.MaxDiscoveredDefaultRouters discovered default routers are remembered.

This change adds support for optionally auto-generating an IPv6 link-local
address based on the NIC's MAC Address on NIC enable.
Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default
configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that a link-local
address will not be auto-generated unless the stack is explicitly configured.
See `stack.Options` for more details. Specifically, see
`stack.Options.AutoGenIPv6LinkLocal`.
Tests: Tests to make sure that the IPb6 link-local address is only
auto-generated if the stack is specifically configured to do so. Also tests to
make sure that an auto-generated address goes through the DAD process.

This change adds support for Duplicate Address Detection on IPv6 addresses
as defined by RFC 4862 section 5.4.
Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default
configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that DAD will not be
performed. See `stack.Options` and `stack.NDPConfigurations` for more details.
Tests: Tests to make sure that the DAD process properly resolves or fails.
That is, tests make sure that DAD resolves only if:
- No other node is performing DAD for the same address
- No other node owns the same address

The IPv6 all-nodes multicast address will be joined on NIC enable, and the
appropriate IPv6 solicited-node multicast address will be joined when IPv6
addresses are added.
Tests: Test receiving packets destined to the IPv6 link-local all-nodes
multicast address and the IPv6 solicted node address of an added IPv6 address.

Adds support to generate Port Unreachable messages for UDP
datagrams received on a port for which there is no valid
endpoint.

This allows the stack to learn remote link addresses on incoming
packets, reducing the need to ARP to send responses.
This also reduces the number of round trips to the system clock,
since that may also prove to be performance-sensitive.
Fixes#739.

Same as with broadcast packets, sending of a multicast packet shouldn't require
accessing the route table. The same applies to IPv6 link-local addresses, which
aren't routable at all (they don't belong to any subnet by definition).
