Previously `ifconfig` would only know link-local addresses
(printed as 'local') and everything else would be 'global'.
This is wrong for site-local and unique local addresses which were
also denoted as global.
So use the already existing helper functions to determine the correct
type of IPv6 address when printing.
When the NIB is compiled for 6LN mode (but not a 6LBR), the Stateless
Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) functionality is disabled, as it is
typically not required; see `sys/include/net/gnrc/ipv6/nib/conf.h`, ll.
46 and 55. However, if a non-6LN interface is also compiled in (still
without making the node a border router) an auto-configured address will
be assigned in accordance with [RFC 6775] to the interface, just
assuming the interface is a 6LN interface. As it then only performs
duplicate address detection RFC-6775-style then, the address then never
becomes valid, as the duplicate address detection according to [RFC
4862] (part of the SLAAC functionality) is never performed.
As auto-configuring an address without SLAAC doesn't make sense, this
fix makes the interface skip it completely, but provides a warning to
the user, so they know what to do.

The functions now are semantic distinct:
- gnrc_netif_is_6lo(): the interface is a 6Lo interface
- gnrc_netif_is_6ln(): the interface is using Neighbor Discovery
according to RFC 6775
We want to check if the interface is an interface requiring the 6Lo
adaptation layer, not if it is a 6LN according to RFC 6775 [[1]].

Preparation step to introduce a semantic difference between an
interface being a 6Lo interface and a 6LN according to RFC 6775 [[1]]
(i.e. performs Neighbor Discovery as defined there).

When writing to the IPv6 header the implementation currently doesn't
take the packet with the (potentially) duplicated header, but the
packet with the original one, which leads to the packet sent and then
released in `gnrc_netif_ethernet.c` first and then accessed again in
further iterations of the "writing to the IPv6 header" loop, which
causes access to an invalid pointer, causing a crash.
Fixes#11980
While 485dbd1fda (from #12175) was right
in assuming that the for most ICMPv6 error messages the originating
packet's destination address must not be a multicast, this is not the
case for _all_ ICMPv6 error messages (see [RFC 4443], section 2.4(e.3)).
Additionally, 485dbd1fda removed the
check for the source address ([RFC 4443], section 2.4(e.6)), which this
PR re-adds.
[RFC 4443]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4443#section-2.4
Rather than dispatching the packet automatically once it is complete,
`gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_rb_add()` now only returns success, and leaves it
to the caller to dispatch the packet.
While it is correct to not use an invalid address as a source address,
it is incorrect to assume that addresses not assigned to the interface
(`idx == -1` in the respective piece of code) are invalid: Other than
classic forwarding via a FIB, forwarded packets utilizing a IPv6
routing header will pass this check, like any other packet sent by this
node. The source address for these is not on the given node, so e.g.
source routing is not possible at the moment.
The IPv6 (extension) headers of the first fragment received are re-used
for the reassembled packet, so when receiving a subsequent packet we
need to distinguish, if we just want to release the payload or all of
the packet after the packet data was added to the reassembly buffer.
This commit adds an example application showcasing SUIT draft v4
firmware updates.
It includes a test script suitable for local or CI testing.
