tcp_timer: eliminated false decrements of conn->timer in case of multiple network adapters.
The false timer decrements sometimes provoked TCP spurious retransmissions due to premature timeouts.
The resulting time complexities are as follows:
* devif_callback_alloc() time complexity is O(1) (i.e. O(n) to fill the whole list).
* devif_callback_free() time complexity is O(1) (i.e. O(n) to empty the whole list).
* devif_conn_event() time complexity is O(n).
In case of enabled packet forwarding mode, packets were forwarded in a reverse order
because of LIFO behavior of the connection event list.
The issue exposed only during high network traffic. Thus the event list started to grow
that resulted in changing the order of packets inside of groups of several packets
like the following: 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4, 8, 7 etc.
Remarks concerning the connection event list implementation:
* Now the queue (list) is FIFO as it should be.
* The list is singly linked.
* The list has a head pointer (inside of outer net_driver_s structure),
and a tail pointer is added into outer net_driver_s structure.
* The list item is devif_callback_s structure.
It still has two pointers to two different list chains (*nxtconn and *nxtdev).
* As before the first argument (*dev) of the list functions can be NULL,
while the other argument (*list) is effective (not NULL).
* An extra (*tail) argument is added to devif_callback_alloc()
and devif_conn_callback_free() functions.
* devif_callback_alloc() time complexity is O(1) (i.e. O(n) to fill the whole list).
* devif_callback_free() time complexity is O(n) (i.e. O(n^2) to empty the whole list).
* devif_conn_event() time complexity is O(n).
Because of this, it will take some time to detangle the licensing under net/. Many new features, original features were added to the NuttX network. Clearly, any references to Adam Dunkels in the files that implement these new features that have no counterpart in uIP 1.0 are errors.
This PR removes the references and converts the license headers to Apache 2.0 where possible. The affected files include only (1) the implementation of IPv6 (including neighbor support under ICMPv6) and (2) Raw sockets. Neither of these features are present in uIP 1.0 and the licenses can be freely updated.
NuttX provides the UDP_BINDTODEVICE socket option. This is a UDP protocol-specific implementation of the semi-standard Linux SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option: "SO_BINDTODEVICE forces packets on the socket to only egress the bound interface, regardless of what the IP routing table would normally choose. Similarly only packets which ingress the bound interface will be received on the socket, packets from other interfaces will not be delivered to the socket." https://codingrelic.geekhold.com/2009/10/code-snippet-sobindtodevice.html
If CONFIG_NET_UDP_BINDTODEVICE is selected and a UDP socket is bound to the device, then unrecognized packets UDP packets must not be dropped, but must be forwarded along to the bound socket unconditionally.
It the typical case, this should have no impact. It does effect the applications that use DHCP and do select the UDP_BINDTODEVICE socket option.
This PR replace existing improper logic in the code and also the improper attempts to fix problems from PR #3601 and PR #3598. Those changes are improper because they expose DHCP appliction dependencies in the OS, breaking modularity and independence of the OS and application.
Tested with stm32f4discovery:netnsh with CONFIG_NET_UDP_BINDTODEVICE. A proper DHCP test setup is needed, however.
this change to support receive the udp data from the specified
port without obtaining the address.

These warnings fix a class of warnings that I saw during CI checks for macOS sim builds. For example:
devif/devif_callback.c:111:49: warning: for loop has empty body [-Wempty-body]
prev = curr, curr = curr->nxtdev);
^
devif/devif_callback.c:111:49: note: put the semicolon on a separate line to silence this warning
I did not put the semi-colon on a separate line, but used braces.
1.Consolidate absolute to relative timeout conversion into one place(_net_timedwait)
2.Drive the wait timeout logic by net_timedwait instead of devif_timer
This patch help us remove devif_timer(period tick) to save the power in the future.

Squashed commit of the following:
Author: Gregory Nutt <gnutt@nuttx.org>
Ran nxstyle against many of the affected files. But this job was too big for today. Many of the network drivers under arch are highly non-compiant and generate many, many faults from nxstyle. Those will have to be visited again another day.
Author: Xiang Xiao <xiaoxiang@xiaomi.com>
This effects all network drivers as well as timing related portions of net/: devif_poll_tcp_timer shouldn't be skipped in the multiple card case. devif_timer will be called multiple time in one period if the multiple card exist, the elapsed time calculated for the first callback is right, but the flowing callback in the same period is wrong(very short) because the global variable g_polltimer is used in the calculation. So let's pass the delay time to devif_timer and remove g_polltimer.
net/icmpv6/icmpv6_input.c: Correct caculation of the ICMPv6 header address
net/mld/mld_query.c: Correct back test for group found.
net/mld/mld_report.c: Fix host vs. network order problem.
net/mld/mld_send.c: Correct the address used in sending the General Query. It should be the unspecified address in that case.
net/mld: Querying workaround. The MLD implementation does not follow the RFC correct when it is the Querier. The Querier should use a general query and get query messages from all members of all groups. This would be driven by a single timer since all groups are queried at once. Instead, the design currently uses a Multicast Address Specific Query with one timer per group and ignores groups that we are not members of.
net/mld: Checksum calculation needs to know the full size of the IPv6 header, including the size of the extension headers. The payload size in the IPv64 header must include the extension headers (not considered part of the header in this case). Fixes a few additional errors in size, endian-ness and checksum calculations. Wireshark now reports the the outgoing Report has a good checksum.
net/mld/mld_query.c: Add a cast to assure that the left shift does not overflow.
