Wlock()'ing the ifc causes a deadlock with Medium
bind/unbind as the routine can walk /net, while
ndb/dns or ndb/cs are currently blocked enumerating
/net/ipifc/*.
The fix is to have a fake medium, called "unbound",
that is set temporarily during the call of Medium
bind and unbind.
That way, the interface rwlock can be released while
bind/unbind is in progress.
The ipifcunbind() routine will refuse to unbind a
ifc that is currently assigned to the "unbound"
medium, preventing any accidents.

Instead of having to do an arp hash table lookup for each
outgoing ip packet, forward the Routehint pointer to the
medium's bwrite() function and let it cache the arp entry
pointer.
This avoids route and arp hash table lookups for tcp, il
and connection oriented udp.
It also allows us to avoid multiple route and arp table
lookups for the retransmits once an arp/neighbour solicitation
response arrives.

to prevent deadlock on media unbind (which is called with
the interface wlock()'ed), the medias reader processes
that unbind was waiting for used to discard packets when
the interface could not be rlocked.
this has the unfortunate side effect that when we change
addresses on a interface that packets are getting lost.
this is problematic for the processing of ipv6 router
advertisements when multiple RA's are getting received
in quick succession.
this change removes that packet dropping behaviour and
instead changes the unbind process to avoid the deadlock
by wunlock()ing the interface temporarily while waiting
for the reader processes to finish. the interface media
is also changed to the mullmedium before unlocking (see
the comment).

mark reader process pointers with (void*)-1 to mean
not started yet. this avoids the race condition when
media unbind happens before the kproc has set its
Proc* pointer. then we would not post the note and
the reader would continue running after unbind.
etherbind can be simplified by reading the #lX/addr
file to get the mac address, avoiding the temporary
buffer.
