re-implement the bpf "filter drop" option that it actually works. the

bpf FILDROP interface exists for about one year but the required
interface to the drivers was missing - so it was useless. this new
approach based on a design by henning@ uses a new mbuf flag to mark
filtered packets and to drop them in the generic network stack input
routines (like ether_input).

for example; after some additional testing, this could be used by
dhclient to filter everything except DHCP packets (track tech@
for a corresponding dhclient diff). the "filter dropped" packets won't
reach the network stack. so it's probably some kind of a very basic
application layer packet filter ;).
