Make dedicated methods for data operations in PacketBuffer

One of the preparation to decouple underlying buffer implementation.
There are still some methods that tie to VectorisedView, and they will be
changed gradually in later CLs.

This CL also introduce a new ICMPv6ChecksumParams to replace long list of
parameters when calling ICMPv6Checksum, aiming to be more descriptive.
