This refactors the `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag` module for the API proposed
in #8511.
The `ctx` for `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_send()` is required to be a
`gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` object, so IPHC can later on use it to
provide the *original* datagram size (otherwise, we would need to adapt
the API just for that, which seems to me as convoluted as this
proposal).
I also provide an expose function with a future possibility to provide
more than just one `gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` object later on (plus
having cleaner module separation in general).
While working on #9352 I noticed that the order of members in the
`gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` struct costs us 4 bytes in RAM due to byte
alignment. This PR fixes the order of members, so they are the most
packed.
This exposes the parts of the reassembly buffer to be usable as context
as proposed in #8511.
I only exposed *parts of* for two reasons:
1. I don't need to expose further types (like `rbuf_int_t`), that are
not of interest outside of fragmentation.
2. This allows for an easy future extension for the virtual reassembly
buffer as proposed in [[1]].
This makes this change a little bit more involved, because instead of
just renaming the type, I also need to add the usage of the `super`
member, but I think in the end this little preparation work will be
beneficial in the future.

Otherwise, it may happen that `::` or a global address is chosen by
the IPv6 header fill function. Both types of addresses are
[not valid for RAs](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861#section-4.2)
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.
[RFC4862]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4862
If the payload length is zero and the next header field is not set to
NONXT, GNRC will interpret the current header as the payload because the
first snip is always interpreted as the payload. This can lead to loops
and or crashes.
When the payload length of an encapsulated IPv6 packet is 0, the
`_receive` function of IPv6 can be given a NULL pointer, causing the
IPv6 header checker to crash because of a NULL pointer dereference.
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`.

At the moment ping is crashing if one pings the loopback address.
This was caused in #8214 when we moved interfaces from `kernel_pid_t`
ID to pointer-based handling, since loopback doesn't evaluate to such
an interface.
This fix
* assures that the periodicity of the final router advertisements is
kept (so that no administrative change e.g. adding prefixes to the
prefix list causes additional RAs outside the rate limitation)
* removes all administrative options (PIO, ABRO, 6CO) from final router
advertisements (with router lifetime == 0)
I applied the following terminology and changed the wording in the doc
accordingly:
* must not: If the parameter is of the value it *must not* be it either
hits an assert or crashes the system.
* may not: The value can be that value, but the function will return an
error.
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.
This assertion doesn't make any sense. The function is called by
_copy_and_handle_aro() on a router which causes `nce` to be NULL
(because there is no NCE known yet) and then the function called
directly after (_reg_addr_upstream()) checks if `nce` might be NULL and
creates an NCE if necessary.
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.
When there are holes in the NIB (e.g. when entries were removed)
currently the NIB crashes the system due to a failed assertion
(`DEVELHELP` needs to be activated to test this behavior).
This fixes this behavior by making the assertion a check that is always
compiled in.
In the case that GNRC_IPV6_NIB_CONF_ARSM is set but
GNRC_IPV6_NIB_CONF_6LN is not, clang complains about
the function _get_l2addr_from_ipv6 never being used.
I couldn't easily figure out why this passes in Murdock,
but I'm guessing that clang is simply being smarter than
GCC. Can someone comment on whether there is a better fix
for this?
Relates to #6473
_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
Similar to #7910

Since gcc-7 `Wimplicit-fallthrough` is activated by using `-Wextra`.
This leads to the following problem when compiling `gnrc_networking`:
```
RIOT/sys/net/gnrc/network_layer/ndp/internal/gnrc_ndp_internal.c: In function ‘gnrc_ndp_internal_set_state’:
RIOT/sys/net/gnrc/network_layer/ndp/internal/gnrc_ndp_internal.c:106:15: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
t = ipv6_iface->reach_time;
~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RIOT/sys/net/gnrc/network_layer/ndp/internal/gnrc_ndp_internal.c:109:9: note: here
case GNRC_IPV6_NC_STATE_DELAY:
^~~~
```
The fall-through in this code is intentional. There are several ways to
warn the comiler about such intentional fall-throughs, which include
e.g. attributed empty statements (`__attribute__ ((fallthrough));`).
I don't like tis approach however. The best way would probably be to
remove this fall-through from the code. However, to keep the diff
minimal, and since ndp will change in the future, I went for warning
the compiler using comments.
The compiler checks comments for several *fall through* regexs to
decide whether a fallthrough was intentional or not.
You can read more about this gcc option in [1]. A note about
fallthrough comment regexs is at the bottom of this article.

Summary:
Even ehen COMP is cleared, the algorithm always elides part of the address when a matching
context is found.
This behviour occurs because in the line
if ((src_ctx != NULL) || ipv6_addr_is_link_local(&(ipv6_hdr->src)))
the COMP bit is not tested.
This patch fixes the problem by setting [src|dst]_ctx to NULL if the
context must not be used.
Upper layers might want to utilize the flags (e.g. to tell 6LoWPAN to elide
UDP checksums). This change allows for this by copying non-addressing related
flags to the address resolution generated netif header from the user generated
netif header.
This is a temporary quick-fix for #5122 to not have GUAs removed on an
interface.
It solves the issue by both not letting the registration run out on the router
and by not letting the lifetime of an auto-configured address expire.
If all rbuf slots are in use, `_rbuf_gc` removes the oldest entry even if the
entry for the current fragment exists. This effectively decreases usable slots
by one. This patch makes `_rbuf_gc` removes the oldest entry only if there is
no entry for the current fragment.
RFC4861 says: "If a Neighbor Cache entry is created for the router
[while processing route advertisements], its reachability state MUST be
set to STALE as specified in Section 7.3.3."
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4944#section-5.3 says:
> If a link fragment that overlaps another fragment is received, as
> identified above, and differs in either the size or datagram_offset
> of the overlapped fragment, the fragment(s) already accumulated in
> the reassembly buffer SHALL be discarded. A fresh reassembly may be
> commenced with the most recently received link fragment.
