Add option to replace linkAddrCache with neighborCache
This change adds an option to replace the current implementation of ARP through linkAddrCache, with an implementation of NUD through neighborCache. Switching to using NUD for both ARP and NDP is beneficial for the reasons described by RFC 4861 Section 3.1: "[Using NUD] significantly improves the robustness of packet delivery in the presence of failing routers, partially failing or partitioned links, or nodes that change their link-layer addresses. For instance, mobile nodes can move off-link without losing any connectivity due to stale ARP caches." "Unlike ARP, Neighbor Unreachability Detection detects half-link failures and avoids sending traffic to neighbors with which two-way connectivity is absent." Along with these changes exposes the API for querying and operating the neighbor cache. Operations include: - Create a static entry - List all entries - Delete all entries - Remove an entry by address This also exposes the API to change the NUD protocol constants on a per-NIC basis to allow Neighbor Discovery to operate over links with widely varying performance characteristics. See [RFC 4861 Section 10][1] for the list of constants. Finally, an API for subscribing to NUD state changes is exposed through NUDDispatcher. See [RFC 4861 Appendix C][3] for the list of edges.
