ignore 8bit writes to obj and oam, and duplicate bits for bg and palette
memory, as per gbatek.
thanks aiju for helping with the implementation.

we did not apply the special case to store 0xFFFF (-0)
in the checksum field when the checksum calculation
returned zero. we survived this for v4 as RFC768 states:
> If the computed checksum is zero, it is transmitted as
> all ones (the equivalent in one's complement arithmetic).
>
> An all zero transmitted checksum value means that the
> transmitter generated no checksum (for debuging or for
> higher level protocols that don't care).
for ipv6 however, the checksum is not optional and receivers
would drop packets with a zero checksum.

during dhcp, ipconfig assigns the null address :: which makes
ipforme() return Runi for any destination, which can trigger
arp resolution when we attempt to reply. so have v4local()
skip the null address and have sendarp() check the return
status of v4local(), avoing the spurious arp requests.

closeconv() calls ipifcremmulti() like:
while((mp = cv->multi) != nil)
ipifcremmulti(cv, mp->ma, mp->ia);
so we have to defer freeing the entry after doing:
if((lifc = iplocalonifc(ifc, ia)) != nil)
remselfcache(f, ifc, lifc, ma);
which accesses the otherwise free'd ia and ma arguments.

on HZ 100 systems like pc and pc64, the minium sleep time
was 10ms, which is quite high. the cap isnt really needed
as arch specific timerset() enforces its own limit, but on
a higher resolution.
background:
from Charles Forsyth:
I haven't really got an opinion on it. The 10ms interval was first used on
machines that were much slower.
I thought someone did set HZ to a bigger value, partly to support better
in-kernel timing. I haven't done it because I never had a need for it.
If I were doing (say) protocol implementation in user mode, I'd certainly
reconsider. Sleep itself forces at best ms granularity,
and for some applications that's too big.

devdir internally replicates the qid in ther perm stat field
already and the practice of explicitely passing just causing
confusion when done inconsistently.

avoid returning ip addresses that cannot be reached due
to lack of a compatible ip address. this means when here
is no ipv4 address configured, we wont return ipv4 addresses
and would not query dns for an A record.
likewise, when here is no ipv6 address configured then
we wont query dns for an AAAA record.
ipv6 lookups can still be disabled with the -4 flag just
as before.
