Major overhaul.

List of functional changes:
- Make a single device per single node with a single hook.
This gives us parrallelizm, which can't be achieved on a single
node with many devices/hooks. This also gives us flexibility - we
can play with a particular device node, not affecting others.
- Remove read queue as it is. Use struct ifqueue instead. This change
removes a lot of extra memcpy()ing, m_devget()ting and m_copymem()ming.
In ng_device_receivedata() we enqueue an mbuf and wake readers.
In ngdread() we take one mbuf from qeueue and uiomove() it to
userspace. If no mbuf is present we optionally block. [1]
- In ngdwrite() we create an mbuf from uio using m_uiotombuf().
This is faster then uiomove() into buffer, and then m_copydata(),
and this is much better than huge m_pullup().
- Perform locking of device
- Perform locking of connection list.
- Clear out _rcvmsg method, since it does nothing good yet.
- Implement NGM_DEVICE_GET_DEVNAME message.
- #if 0 ioctl method, while nothing is done here yet.
- Return immediately from ngdwrite() if uio_resid == 0.

List of tidyness changes:
- Introduce device2priv(), to remove cut'n'paste.
- Use MALLOC/FREE, instead of malloc/free.
- Use unit2minor().
- Use UID_ROOT/GID_WHEEL instead of 0/0.
- Define NGD_DEVICE_DEVNAME, use it.
- Use more nice macros for debugging. [2]
- Return Exxx, not -1.

style(9) changes:
- No "#endif" after short block.
- Break long lines.
- Remove extra spaces, add needed spaces.

A node that creates a device entry in /dev (yay devfs)
so that /dev/mumble can be the entrypoint to some networking graph,
e.g. a tunnel or a remote tape drive or whatever...

Not fully tested (by me) yet.
