CALLOUT_MPSAFE has lost its meaning since r141428, i.e., for more than ten years for head. However, it is continuously misused as the mpsafe argument for callout_init(9). Deprecate the flag and clean up callout_init() calls to make them more consistent.

Start process of removing the use of the deprecated "M_FLOWID" flag from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX" macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction. Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags" before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from "M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an "if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective network drivers like before.
Additional notes: - The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch. - Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately. - The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

Fix multiple incorrect SYSCTL arguments in the kernel:
- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros, using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

Since 32-bit if_baudrate isn't enough to describe a baud rate of a 10 Gbit interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed.
o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.
o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit, which at modern speeds overflow within a second.
This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.
o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the 8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.
o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric. o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.
__FreeBSD_version bumped.
