This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
Patch contains a coccinelle script, but it only works in some cases. Many
parts were converted by hand.
Note: I did not fix errors in return value handing. This will be done separate
to keep the patch comprehensible. No functional change is intended in this
patch.
The RFC 7217 (prefixstable) algorithm can use Duplicate Address
Detection to produce multiple candidate addresses, but the implementation
here does not currently employ that mechanism.
This error message will be emitted when any form of SLAAC address
generation fails, not just 'prefix stable', so the message should
only refer to SLAAC.
The logic which can produce an IPv6 address using SLAAC produces an
address, not a prefix, so the boolean variable used to detect whether
it succeeded should reflect that.
Provide names to choose between different auto-generation types:
2.1 "eui64" for EUI-64 of RFC 4291
2.2 "prefixstable" for RFC 7217
```
[Match]
Name=veth99
[Network]
DHCP=no
IPv6AcceptRA=yes
IPv6Token=prefixstable:2001:888:0db8:1::
```
Some path of configuring address, route or etc., go to failed state, but
some do not. E.g., failure in address configuration which is provided by
DHCPv4 goes to failed state, but static address does not.
This is just for consistency. This should not change anything if
everything is fine.
This also voidify manager_rtnl_process_address().
When address is in IPv4, the remaining buffer in in_addr_union may
not be initialized.
Fixes the following valgrind warning:

This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
