Right now, we send each tcp packet separately, we call one system
call per-packet. This patch allows to generate multiple tcp packets
and send them by sendmmsg.
The arguable part of this CL is a way how to handle multiple headers.
This CL adds the next field to the Prepandable buffer.

...and do not populate link address cache at dispatch. This partially
reverts 313c767b00, which caused malformed
packets (e.g. NDP Neighbor Adverts with incorrect hop limit values) to
populate the address cache. In particular, this masked a bug that was
introduced to the Neighbor Advert generation code in
7c1587e340.

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.

This allows the user code to add a network address with a subnet prefix length.
The prefix length value is stored in the network endpoint and provided back to
the user in the ProtocolAddress type.

iptables also relies on IPPROTO_RAW in a way. It opens such a socket to
manipulate the kernel's tables, but it doesn't actually use any of the
functionality. Blegh.

The linux packet socket can handle GSO packets, so we can segment packets to
64K instead of the MTU which is usually 1500.

IP_MULTICAST_LOOP controls whether or not multicast packets sent on the default
route are looped back. In order to implement this switch, support for sending
and looping back multicast packets on the default route had to be implemented.
For now we only support IPv4 multicast.

...in accordance with RFCs 1112 and 2464.
Fixes IPv4 multicast when IP_MULTICAST_IF is specified.
Don't return ErrNoRoute when no route is needed.
Don't set Route.NextHop when no route is needed.

Makes it possible to avoid copying or allocating in cases where DeliverNetworkPacket (rx)
needs to turn around and call WritePacket (tx) with its VectorisedView.
Also removes the restriction on having VectorisedViews with multiple views in the write path.
