This adds support for netdevs implementing the new API that provides
`netdev_driver_t::confirm_send()`. This allows implementing netdevs
in an event based non-blocking fashion, making live of driver
developers a bit easier. In addition, `gnrc_tx_sync` will now throttle
users of `sock_udp_send()` so that they can only send datagrams as
fast as the network stack and hardware is able to send out.
Finally, this lays the groundwork to fetch TX statistics (such as
TX timestamps, reception of layer 2 ACKs/NACKs, etc.) from the network
devices.
- most were trivial
- missing group close or open
- extra space
- no doxygen comment
- name commad might open an implicit group
this hould also be implicit cosed but does not happen somtimes
- crazy: internal declared groups have to be closed internal
Synchronize the RPL thread updating the RPL netstats with the RPL
shell command reading it by disabling IRQs. This will prevent printing
corrupted data on non-32bit platforms as well as printing inconsistent
data (e.g. TX count of old state in conjunction with TX bytes of new
state) for all platforms.

There is a repeating pattern in the struct that is split out into a
subtype in this commit. This makes handling the data easier, as now
done in the print routine.
Instead of retrieving a pointer with NETOPT_STATS, retrieve the current
data. This avoids data corruptions when reading from one thread (e.g.
the thread running the shell (ifconfig command)) while another thread
is updating it (e.g. the netif thread).
The issue affects all boards, as users typically expect the count of
TX packets and the number of TX bytes to refer to the same state. For
16 bit and 8 bit platforms even a single netstat entry can read back
corrupted.
This fixes the issue by just copying the whole netstat_t struct over
without requiring explicit locking on the user side. A multi-threaded
network stack still needs to synchronize the thread responding to
netopt_get with the thread writing to the netstat_t structure, but that
is an implementation detail no relevant to the user of the API.
In a881af8b08 we would return early if the subnet did not change,
but we must still send the router advertisement with the route information
option to the upstream network, otherwise hosts in that network will not
consider the downstream subnet off-link.
If there are still messages in the mbox when gnrc_netreg_unregister()
is called, we must release the associated pktbuf snips, otherwise
they are leaked away forever.
E.g. `sock_udp_close()` was called without receiving all messages with
`sock_udp_recv()`.
This avoids a race condition where the default router slots for the 6LBR
are used up by router advertisements from the 6Lo network that arrived
before router advertisements from the upstream network.
The border router should ignore 'default routers' from the 6Lo network as
it consitutes the uplink for that network.
