#11862: Net server multi-protocol rework

The AutoconfigLooper is very IPv4 centric. We need to extend
AutoconfigLooper (and the net server in general) to function with a wider
set of protocols.
haiku/src/servers/net
Base features required to be functional in bold below...
* IPv4 can be automatically configured via '''DHCP''', Zeroconf, or
'''169.254.x.x based on MAC'''
* IPv6 can be '''router advertisement''', or DHCPv6
Examples:
* AutoconfigLooper checks for things like "auto_configured", and
IFF_CONFIGURING
* NetServer stores "auto_config" on the interface level and not the
protocol level
* Other parts of the network stack rely on auto_configure being set on
the interface
Interface level auto_config without network family should be made to
assume legacy, ipv4 only for BeOS compat where needed.
