Currently the qemu user-mode networking stack reads the host DNS
configuration (/etc/resolv.conf or the Windows equivalent) only once
when qemu starts. This causes name lookups in the guest to fail if the
host is moved to a different network from which the original DNS servers
are unreachable, a common occurrence when the host is a laptop.
This patch changes the slirp code to read the host DNS configuration on
demand, caching the results for at most 1 second to avoid unnecessary
overhead if name lookups occur in rapid succession. On non-Windows
hosts, /etc/resolv.conf is re-read only if the file has been replaced or
if its size or mtime has changed.

Three problems with our_addr:
- It's determined only once when qemu starts, but the address can change
(just like the DNS configuration can).
- It's supposed to be the IP address of a host network interface, but
there's no guarantee that gethostbyname(gethostname()) actually does
that: the host might be a laptop that has only a loopback interface up,
or the hostname might be localhost.localdomain, etc.
- It's useless at best: get_dns_addr() calls it, there's no reason to
send DNS requests to a different IP address if you're running a DNS
server on the host and resolv.conf points to 127.0.0.1.
These problems are easily solved by removing the code.

Calling gettimeofday() to compute a time interval can cause problems if
the system clock jumps forwards or backwards; replace updtime() with
qemu_get_clock(rt_clock), which calls clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) if
it is available.
Also remove some useless macros.

Once again this was a long journey to reach the destination: Allow to
instantiate slirp multiple times. But as in the past, the journey was
worthwhile, cleaning up, fixing and enhancing various parts of the user
space network stack along the way.
What is this particular change good for? Multiple slirps instances
allow separated user space networks for guests with multiple NICs. This
is already possible, but without any slirp support for the second
network, ie. without a chance to talk to that network from the host via
IP. We have a legacy guest system here that benefits from this slirp
enhancement, allowing us to run both of its NICs purely over
unprivileged user space IP stacks.
Another benefit of this patch is that it simply removes an artificial
restriction of the configuration space qemu is providing, avoiding
another source of surprises that users may face when playing with
possible setups.

Currently, ip_id is always initialized to 0 on slirp startup (despite

With the internal IP configuration made more flexible, we can now
enhance the user interface. This patch adds a number of new options to
"-net user": net (address and mask), host, dhcpstart, dns and smbserver.
It also renames "redir" to "hostfwd" and "channel" to "guestfwd" in
order to (hopefully) clarify their meanings. The format of guestfwd is
extended so that the user can define not only the port but also the
virtual server's IP address the forwarding starts from.

So far a couple of slirp-related parameters were expressed via
stand-alone command line options. This it inconsistent and unintuitive.
Moreover, it prevents both dynamically reconfigured (host_net_add/
delete) and multi-instance slirp.
This patch refactors the configuration by turning -smb, -redir, -tftp
and -bootp as well as -net channel into options of "-net user". The old
stand-alone command line options are still processed, but no longer
advertised. This allows smooth migration of management applications to
to the new syntax and also the extension of that syntax later in this
series.

This patch reorders the initialization of slirp itself as well as its
associated features smb and redirection. So far the first reference to
slirp triggered the initialization, independent of the actual -net user
option which may carry additional parameters. Now we save any request to
add a smb export or some redirections until the actual initialization of
the stack. This also allows to move a few parameters that were passed
via global variable into the argument list of net_slirp_init.
