Robert Watson a152f8a361 Change semantics of socket close and detach. Add a new protocol switch
function, pru_close, to notify protocols that the file descriptor or
other consumer of a socket is closing the socket.  pru_abort is now a
notification of close also, and no longer detaches.  pru_detach is no
longer used to notify of close, and will be called during socket
tear-down by sofree() when all references to a socket evaporate after
an earlier call to abort or close the socket.  This means detach is now
an unconditional teardown of a socket, whereas previously sockets could
persist after detach of the protocol retained a reference.

This faciliates sharing mutexes between layers of the network stack as
the mutex is required during the checking and removal of references at
the head of sofree().  With this change, pru_detach can now assume that
the mutex will no longer be required by the socket layer after
completion, whereas before this was not necessarily true.

This protocol implements IPX/SPX over Ethernet_II frame type 0x8137.
Please note: the SPX implementation may require further work and testing
to insure proper operation.

--- TODO ---

(1) netipx default socket buffer sizes are very small by contemporary
    standards, and should be increased following testing and measurement.

(2) SPX will free the PCB and socket buffer memory on close(), which means
    close() in effects terminates the transfer of any outstanding buffered
    but unsent data.  As with TCP, it should instead grab its own
    reference to the socket so that it is not released, as hold onto it
    until the data transfer is complete.

(3) Raw socket capture of IPX output intercepts packets in the SPX output
    routine in order to feed them back into the raw socket.  This results
    in recursion into the socket code in the transmit path; instead,
    captured packets should be fed into a netisr that reinjects them into
    raw sockets from a new (asynchronous) context.

(4) IPX over IP encapsulation needs work to make it properly MPSAFE.
