Block for link address resolution
Previously, if address resolution for UDP or Ping sockets required sending packets using Write in Transport layer, Resolve would return ErrWouldBlock and Write would return ErrNoLinkAddress. Meanwhile startAddressResolution would run in background. Further calls to Write using same address would also return ErrNoLinkAddress until resolution has been completed successfully. Since Write is not allowed to block and System Calls need to be interruptible in System Call layer, the caller to Write is responsible for blocking upon return of ErrWouldBlock. Now, when startAddressResolution is called a notification channel for the completion of the address resolution is returned. The channel will traverse up to the calling function of Write as well as ErrNoLinkAddress. Once address resolution is complete (success or not) the channel is closed. The caller would call Write again to send packets and check if address resolution was compeleted successfully or not.
