Change ARP and IP6-ND nodes to use interface-output node for output
The current mechanism for setting up arp-input and ip6-discover-neighbor
output nodes for interfaces using their interface link up/down callback
function is inefficient and has potential timing issue, as observed for
bonded interface. Now both nodes will setup output interface sw_if_index
in the the sw_if_index[VLIB_TX] field of current packet buffer and then
use the interface-ouput node to tx the packet.
One side effect is that vlib_node_add_next_with_slot() needs to be
modified to allow the same output node-id to be put at the specified
slot, even if another slot contain that same node-id already exist. This
requirement is caused by BVI support where all loopback interfaces set
up as BVIs will have the same output node-id being l2-input while, for
output-interface node, the output slot must match the hw_if_index of the
interface.
