The actual header length may be larger than the bpf_hdr struct due to aligning:

Tests are only valid for 32 and 64 bit architectures. I did not bother
guarding them with additional cfg flags.
Disable ethernet-related features and framing based on a feature gate.
Add a no-ethernet option to Travis.
notes:
- allow(unused) is added when not using ethernet feature
- Don't run pretty-print doctest, ethernet is optional.

Each given NDISC packet type may only include one of a few options.
Instead of including the options in the NDISC repr as a &[u8] include
the packet types available options as `Option<T>`.

Add basic ICMPv6 handling
- ICMPv6
- Handle ICMPv6 echo requests
- Send ICMPv6 error messages
- When know listening UDP socket is found in process_udp
- When the next header is not known
- Update icmpv6 test to be more useful
- ICMPv4
- Handle one more case where we are sending too much data
- There are several warnings that are thrown when running `cargo doc`. Fix
these warnings.
- Convert all module documentation to use /*! for consistency.
- Add MIN_MTU constants to the IP version modules.
- Ensure that ICMPv4 error replies comply with the size requirements
specified in RFC 1812 § 4.3.2.3.
- Add the ipv6 feature
- Ensure a travis build with the ipv6 feature enabled.
- Add the necessary infrastructure to wire for ipv6 support.
- Ipv6Address
- Ipv6Cidr
- Add Ipv6 Address and Cidr parsing to parsers
- Add basic tests.
- Add the ttl member to the IpRepr
- Add the ttl member along with setters and getters to the tcp and udp
socket types
- Add unit tests for the new set_ttl parameter
- Update usage of IpRepr to include the ttl value
This is a form of an uninitialized read bug; although safe it caused
panics. In short, transmit buffers received from the network stack
should be considered uninitialized (in practice they will often
contain previously transmitted packets or parts thereof). Wrapping
them with the only method we had (e.g. Ipv4Packet) treated the buffer
as if it contained a valid incoming packet, which can easily fail
with Error::Truncated.
This commit splits every `fn new(buffer: T) -> Result<Self, Error>`
method on a `Packet` into three smaller ones:
* `fn check_len(&self) -> Result<(), Error>`, purely a validator;
* `fn new(T) -> Self`, purely a wrapper;
* `fn new_checked(T) -> Result<Self, Error>`, a validating wrapper.
This makes it easy to process ingress packets (using `new_checked`),
egress packets (using `new`), and, if needed, maintain the invariants
at any point during packet construction (using `check_len`).
Fixes#17.
Before this commit, IP payload length was calculated by subtracting
the IP header length from the total underlying buffer length, which
fails if the underlying buffer has padding, e.g. like Ethernet
does.
