Remove ARP address workaround
- Make AddressableEndpoint optional for NetworkEndpoint. Not all NetworkEndpoints need to support addressing (e.g. ARP), so AddressableEndpoint should only be implemented for protocols that support addressing such as IPv4 and IPv6. With this change, tcpip.ErrNotSupported will be returned by the stack when attempting to modify addresses on a network endpoint that does not support addressing. Now that packets are fully handled at the network layer, and (with this change) addresses are optional for network endpoints, we no longer need the workaround for ARP where a fake ARP address was added to each NIC that performs ARP so that packets would be delivered to the ARP layer.
