`_demux()` might change `pkt->data` in all kind of ways (moving it due
to `gnrc_pktbuf_mark()`, though unlikely; releasing it, because e.g. it
starts with a fragment header that marks a fragmented packet containing
only one fragment, etc.) so accessing the pointer *after* calling
`_demux()` is somewhat playing with fire. This change avoids this by
storing the value of `ext_hdr->nh` (all we are interested in here) in a
temporary variable that then is used to set the out-parameter `nh`.
`protnum` needs to be unchanged before the call to `_demux()` as it was
set by the previous iteration and determines what extension header
actually is handled.
If the interface's link-layer doesn't use link-layer addresses it
obviously doesn't make sense to auto-configure an IPv6 address from it.
Moreover, I think the address `fe80::` is actual illegal, but I
couldn't find any references for it.
The following functions can now be wrapped around the more generalized
approach:
- gnrc_netif_ipv6_iid_from_addr()
- gnrc_netif_ipv6_iid_to_addr()
- gnrc_netif_ndp_addr_len_from_l2ao()
- gnrc_netif_eui64_from_addr()
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.
Not only does this leave open a risk to crash the node for the check
in `_compressible()` but also is the `tmp` check below getting confused
when `ptr` is `NULL`, since `gnrc_pktbuf_start_write()` returns `NULL`
in that case.
Size 0 snips are legal packet snips (empty payload e.g.) so it doesn't
make sense to issue an error in the write-protection in that case.
API documentation doesn't mention it either and the tests still pass
with the check removed.

With newlib nano-specs the debug output without this change will be
6lo: dispatch 0hx ... is not supported
With this PR this will provide a correct output, e.g.
6lo: dispatch 0x3f ... is not supported
With `DEVELHELP` activated all required options required by GNRC are
now checked at interface initialization, so that developers of new
link-layer protocols or device drivers notice as soon as possible that
something is missing.
