o Assert that every protosw has pr_attach. Now this structure is
only for socket protocols declarations and nothing else.
o Merge struct pr_usrreqs into struct protosw. This was suggested
in 1996 by wollman@ (see 7b187005d1), and later reiterated
in 2006 by rwatson@ (see 6fbb9cf860).
o Make struct domain hold a variable sized array of protosw pointers.
For most protocols these pointers are initialized statically.
Those domains that may have loadable protocols have spacers. IPv4
and IPv6 have 8 spacers each (andre@ dff3237ee5).
o For inetsw and inet6sw leave a comment noting that many protosw
entries very likely are dead code.
o Refactor pf_proto_[un]register() into protosw_[un]register().
o Isolate pr_*_notsupp() methods into uipc_domain.c

The method was called for two different conditions: 1) the VM layer is
low on pages or 2) one of UMA zones of mbuf allocator exhausted.
This change 2) into a new event handler, but all affected network
subsystems modified to subscribe to both, so this change shall not
bring functional changes under different low memory situations.
There were three subsystems still using pr_drain: TCP, SCTP and frag6.
The latter had its protosw entry for the only reason to register its
pr_drain method.

The protosw KPI historically has implemented two quite orthogonal
things: protocols that implement a certain kind of socket, and
protocols that are IPv4/IPv6 protocol. These two things do not
make one-to-one correspondence. The pr_input and pr_ctlinput methods
were utilized only in IP protocols. This strange duality required
IP protocols that doesn't have a socket to declare protosw, e.g.
carp(4). On the other hand developers of socket protocols thought
that they need to define pr_input/pr_ctlinput always, which lead to
strange dead code, e.g. div_input() or sdp_ctlinput().
With this change pr_input and pr_ctlinput as part of protosw disappear
and IPv4/IPv6 get their private single level protocol switch table
ip_protox[] and ip6_protox[] respectively, pointing at array of
ipproto_input_t functions. The pr_ctlinput that was used for
control input coming from the network (ICMP, ICMPv6) is now represented
by ip_ctlprotox[] and ip6_ctlprotox[].
ipproto_register() becomes the only official way to register in the
table. Those protocols that were always static and unlikely anybody
is interested in making them loadable, are now registered by ip_init(),
ip6_init(). An IP protocol that considers itself unloadable shall
register itself within its own private SYSINIT().

The historical BSD network stack loop that rolls over domains and
over protocols has no advantages over more modern SYSINIT(9).
While doing the sweep, split global and per-VNET initializers.
Getting rid of pr_init allows to achieve several things:
o Get rid of ifdef's that protect against double foo_init() when
both INET and INET6 are compiled in.
o Isolate initializers statically to the module they init.
o Makes code easier to understand and maintain.

With this change, a kernel compiled with "options SCTP_SUPPORT" and
without "options SCTP" supports dynamic loading of the SCTP stack.
Currently sctp.ko cannot be unloaded since some prerequisite teardown
logic is not yet implemented. Attempts to unload the module will return
EOPNOTSUPP.
