Migrate to PacketHeader API for PacketBuffer.
Formerly, when a packet is constructed or parsed, all headers are set by the client code. This almost always involved prepending to pk.Header buffer or trimming pk.Data portion. This is known to prone to bugs, due to the complexity and number of the invariants assumed across netstack to maintain. In the new PacketHeader API, client will call Push()/Consume() method to construct/parse an outgoing/incoming packet. All invariants, such as slicing and trimming, are maintained by the API itself. NewPacketBuffer() is introduced to create new PacketBuffer. Zero value is no longer valid. PacketBuffer now assumes the packet is a concatenation of following portions: * LinkHeader * NetworkHeader * TransportHeader * Data Any of them could be empty, or zero-length.
