Instead of using differing integer types use kernel_pid_t for process
identifier. This type is introduced in a new header file to avoid
circular dependencies.
This PR converts tabs to white spaces.
The statement I used for the conversion:
```find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec zsh -c 'expand -t 4 "$0" > /tmp/e && mv /tmp/e "$0"' {} \;```
Afterwards, I had a quick overview of the converted files to prevent odd indentation.
The current implementation does not set the ack bit
for outgoing data segments and the fin segment.
However, RFC793 states that all segments
should have an ack bit set in order to present a valid
ack nr. in outgoing segments.
Currently, data segments and acknowledgement segments
are distinguished by the existence of their ack bit.
With the new assumption, that both of these types of
segments need an ack bit set, I had to change several
parts of the current implementation to make this
decision by inspecting the payload size.

In the current implementation the data offset is coded into an uint8_t.
Of this uint8_t only 3 bits apply for the data offset.
The remaining bits represent reserved flags for future use.
However, a proper bit masking is forgotten in order
to obtain the data offset part of this uint8_t.
Therefore, defining this uint8_t as a bit field allows a more convenient
method of access.
When accessing the length field of an ipv6_header a byte order switch (host -> network) is necessary.
Otherwise, it breaks calculations or the checksum and other tcp related computations.
Furthermore, when writing to ipv6_header->length it is important to switch this
from host byte order to network byte order.
