This passes the legacy ethernet address to functions in a lot of places,
which all will need migrated to handle arbitrary size hardware addresses
eventually.
Before this commit, event when Gateway=_dhcp4 or _ra is set, the
route was configured with 'protocol static', and other properties
specified by RouteTable=, RouteMTU=, or etc, were ignored.
This commit makes set the route protocol based on the protocol the
gateway address is obtained, and apply other settings if it is not
explicitly specified in the [Route] section.
The Address objects in the set generated by ndisc_router_generate_addresses()
have the equivalent prefixlen, flags, prefered lifetime.
This commit makes ndisc_router_generate_addresses() return Set of
in6_addr.

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.
