Historically, the loopback driver used the largest packet size of all enabled link layer protocols. This permitted packets to be forward via the loopbak device with no major loss of performance. However, in experimenting with configurations where no other link layer protocols were enabled, this means the loopback packet size was set to the smallest possible size, to the SLIP minimum of 296 bytes. This resulted in terrible loopback performance.
This commit adds an option to increase the loopback packet size with the option CONFIG_NET_LOOPBACK_PACKETSIZE.
The loopback driver packet buffer should be quite large. The larger the loopback packet buffer, the better will be TCP performance of the loopback transfers. The Linux loopback device historically used packet buffers of size 16Kb, but that was increased in recent Linux versions to 64Kb. Those sizes may be excessive for resource constrained MCUs, however.
The network still enforces the lower limit that is the maximum packet size of all enabled link layer protocols. But this new option permits the loopback packet size to be increased from that.
* net/Kconfig: Adds CONFIG_NET_LOOPBACK_PKTSIZE option
* include/nuttx/net/netconfig.h: Assures that the packet size that is used is at least as large as the largest packet size of other link layer protocols.
* drivers/net/loopback.c: Use that larger packet size.
* boards/sim/sim/sim/configs/tcploop/defconfig: Set the loopback packet size to 1500
* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro

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.

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.
This makes the user interface a little hostile. People thing of an MTU of 1500 bytes, but the corresponding packet is really 1514 bytes (including the 14 byte Ethernet header). A more friendly solution would configure the MTU (as before), but then derive the packet buffer size by adding the MAC header length. Instead, we define the packet buffer size then derive the MTU.
The MTU is not common currency in networking. On the wire, the only real issue is the MSS which is derived from MTU by subtracting the IP header and TCP header sizes (for the case of TCP). Now it is derived for the PKTSIZE by subtracting the IP header, the TCP header, and the MAC header sizes. So we should be all good and without the recurring 14 byte error in MTU's and MSS's.
Squashed commit of the following:
Trivial update to fix some spacing issues.
net/: Rename several macros containing _MTU to _PKTSIZE.
net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_SLIP_MTU to CONFIG_NET_SLIP_PKTSIZE and similarly for CONFIG_NET_TUN_MTU. These are not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. These are the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_6LOWPAN_MTU to CONFIG_NET_6LOWPAN_PKTSIZE and similarly for CONFIG_NET_TUN_MTU. These are not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. These are the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_ETH_MTU to CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE. This is not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. This is the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
net/: Rename the file d_mtu in the network driver structure to d_pktsize. That value saved there is not the MTU. The packetsize is the memory large enough to hold the maximum packet PLUS the size of the link layer header. The MTU does not include the link layer header.
This conversion is unfortunate in the sense that Unix local domain sockets are relatively lightweight. LocalHost UDP sockets are much heavier weight since they rely on the full UDP stack. If anyone is up for a complete redesign, then using some shared memory and a POSIX message queue would be lightweight again.
This commit also fixes several bugs that were not testable before the inode tree deadlock. I cannot say that the logic is 100% stable but it does not have basic functionality.

net/icmpv6: IPPROT_ICMP6 socket logic now builds without error.
net/icmpv6: Add support for read-ahead and poll(). Initial commit is just cloned from ICMP with the appropriate name changes.
configs/: All defconfig filess that include CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_SOCKET=y need to select CONFIG_SYSTEM_PING6=y and deselect CONFIG_DISABLE_POLL.
