netmap: refactor logging macros and pipes

Changelist:
- Replace ND, D and RD macros with nm_prdis, nm_prinf, nm_prerr
and nm_prlim, to avoid possible naming conflicts.
- Add netmap_krings_mode_commit() helper function and use that
to reduce code duplication.
- Refactor pipes control code to export some functions that
can be reused by the veth driver (on Linux) and epair(4).
- Add check to reject API requests with version less than 11.
- Small code refactoring for the null adapter.

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (760279cfb2730a585)

Changelist:
- Replace netmap passthrough host support with a more general
mechanism to call TXSYNC/RXSYNC from an in-kernel event-loop.
No kernel threads are used to use this feature: the application
is required to spawn a thread (or a process) and issue a
SYNC_KLOOP_START (NIOCCTRL) command in the thread body. The
kernel loop is executed by the ioctl implementation, which returns
to userspace only when a different thread calls SYNC_KLOOP_STOP
or the netmap file descriptor is closed.
- Update the if_ptnet driver to cope with the new data structures,
and prune all the obsolete ptnetmap code.
- Add support for "null" netmap ports, useful to allocate netmap_if,
netmap_ring and netmap buffers to be used by specialized applications
(e.g. hypervisors). TXSYNC/RXSYNC on these ports have no effect.
- Various fixes and code refactoring.
