Rename core data structures. This will break compatibility for out of
tree builtin apps.
- stream_session_t to session_t
- server_rx/tx_fifo to rx/tx_fifo
- stream_session.h to session_types.h
- update copyright

This introduces 5-tuple lookup tables that may be used to implement
custom session layer actions at connection establishment time (session
layer perspective).
The rules table build mask-match-action lookup trees that for a given
5-tuple key return the action for the first longest match. If rules
overlap, ordering is established by tuple longest match with the
following descending priority: remote ip, local ip, remote port, local
port.
At this time, the only match action supported is to forward packets to
the application identified by the action.

Applications are now provided the option to select the namespace they
are to be attached to and the scope of their attachement. Application
namespaces are meant to:
1) constrain the scope of communication through the network by
association with source interfaces and/or fib tables that provide the
source ips to be used and limit the scope of routing
2) provide a namespace local scope to session layer communication, as
opposed to the global scope provided by 1). That is, sessions can be
established without assistance from transport and network layers.
Albeit, zero/local-host ip addresses must still be provided in session
establishment messages due to existing application idiosyncrasies. This
mode of communication uses shared-memory fifos (cut-through sessions)
exclusively.
If applications request no namespace, they are assigned to the default
one, which at its turn uses the default fib. Applications can request
access to both local and global scopes for a namespace. If no scope is
specified, session layer defaults to the global one.
When a sw_if_index is provided for a namespace, zero-ip (INADDR_ANY)
binds are converted to binds to the requested interface.
