According to the documentation of `gnrc_ipv6_nib_get_next_hop_l2addr()`
`pkt` may be `NULL`. However, whenever that function sends an error
message (the methods for that require `orig_pkt` not to be NULL) `pkt`
is not checked, which may lead to failed assertions.
Currently the constructed NA for a delayed NA case is neither used nor
released nor does it get an IPv6 header to be used properly. This fixes
that case.
When a new queue entry is tried to be allocated for a neighbor who's
address is currently tried to be resolved there was no error case
before. The packet that was tried to be put in the queue was thus not
released and stayed in the packet buffer for ever.
When having a non-6LN interface and a 6LN interface (e.g. on a border
router) the assertion can hit when a Router Advertisement is received.
This makes the check an `if` statement rather than an assertion, to
account for that case.

Without this the first packet to a new link-local address will not be
delivered in non-6Lo environments, since the interface is not provided.
With this change, if an internet was provided to the address resolver it
will be stored within an allocated `gnrc_netif_hdr_t`.
At this point [IPv6 already striped](netif strip) the packet of its
netif header, so there is no risk that there will be to, in case it was
provided and the `netif` came from its existence.
Our `gnrc_minimal` example configures the link-local address from the
IEEE 802.15.4 short address since it does not include 6Lo-ND.
This causes the application to be incompatible with our other GNRC
application that do include 6Lo-ND, since it [assumes][1] the link-local
address to be based on the EUI-64 for address resolution.
This enforces long addresses (aka EUI-64) for all IEEE 802.15.4 devices
when IPv6 is compiled in so `gnrc_minimal` is compatible again to the
rest.

Linux doesn't have ARO support at the moment so this is a workaround to
try to speak 6Lo-ND while still being able to do DAD with a border
router that doesn't.
Parts of [RFC4862] were already implemented when NDP via the NIB was
first implemented. This change just includes the DAD portion of
[RFC4862]. This should be enough to make RIOT fully RFC4862 compliant.

With the previous fix, we only have to register addresses that are not
VALID yet on reception of router advertisements. This removes the need
for the hacky `GNRC_NETIF_FLAGS_6LO_ADDRS_REG` flag that was only
introduced to prevent unnecessary re-registration.
The whole address registration looses its point if all addresses are
marked valid from the get-go. With this fix non-link-local addresses
are first marked TENTATIVE and only after successful registration
marked as VALID. Link-local addresses are assumed to always be VALID.
[RFC6775] only talks of *routers* processing router advertisements,
with regards of discarding them if they do not contain an ABRO.
Additionally, this change makes configuration of tests setups a lot
easier, where one note is a router distributing a prefix and the other
is a host to be configured with the RA. Just do the following on the
router:
```
> ifconfig <if> add <GUA>
> ifconfig <if> rtr_adv
```
e voilà! In current master both nodes would have needed to be compiled
with `GNRC_IPV6_NIB_CONF_MULTIHOP_P6C=0`.

This renames the following functions
* `gnrc_netif_ipv6_addr_add()`
* `gnrc_netif_ipv6_addr_remove()`
* `gnrc_netif_ipv6_group_join()`
* `gnrc_netif_ipv6_group_leave()`
by appending the suffix `_internal`.
\## Reasoning
I'd like to provide a helper function for the *public* equivalent using
`gnrc_netapi_set()`, and those names are to nice to not be taken for
those.
\## Procedure
I used a combination of `git grep` and `sed` to do this and fixed the
alignment in the result of some cases by hand.
```sh
git grep --name-only "\<gnrc_netif_ipv6_\(addr\|group\)_\(add\|remove\|join\|leave\)\>" | \
xargs sed -i 's/\<gnrc_netif_ipv6_\(addr\|group\)_\(add\|remove\|join\|leave\)/\0_internal/g'
```
When a neighbor becomes UNREACHABLE which causes neighbor solicitations
to be send only up to every minute. If the medium is very busy this can
easily get lost, basically causing the neighbor never to be reachable
again from the perspective of the sending node. To fix this the backoff
is reduced to its start value, every time a packet is sent to that
neighbor.
While the GNRC_IPV6_NIB_RTR_TIMEOUT is properly handled, it is actually
never fired. Moreover, the router lifetime is set, but never read.
This removes the router lifetime and switches it out for an evtimer
to does the GNRC_IPV6_NIB_RTR_TIMEOUT event.
_is_reachable is only used when GNRC_IPV6_NIB_CONF_ARSM
is enabled, and as such it must be guarded so that clang
doesn't complain about a unused function in case
GNRC_IPV6_NIB_CONF_ARSM is not set
