net, internal/syscall/windows: fix interface and address identification on windows

The current implementation including Go 1.5 through 1.5.2 misuses
Windows API and mishandles the returned values from GetAdapterAddresses
on Windows. This change fixes various issues related to network facility
information by readjusting interface and interface address parsers.

Updates #5395.
Updates #10530.
Updates #12301.
Updates #12551.
Updates #13542.
Fixes #12691.
Fixes #12811.
Fixes #13476.
Fixes #13544.

Also fixes fragile screen scraping test cases in net_windows_test.go.

Additional information for reviewers:

It seems like almost all the issues above have the same root cause and
it is misunderstanding of Windows API. If my interpretation of the
information on MSDN is correctly, current implementation contains the
following bugs:

- SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST should not be used for IPv6. The behavior of
  SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST is different on kernels and probably it doesn't
  work correctly for IPv6 on old kernels such as Windows XP w/ SP2.
  Unfortunately MSDN doesn't describe the detail of
  SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST, but information on the net suggests so.

- Fetching IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structures with fixed size area may not
  work when using IPv6. IPv6 generates ton of interface addresses for
  various addressing scopes. We need to adjust the area appropriately.

- PhysicalAddress field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure may have extra
  space. We cannot ignore PhysicalAddressLength field of
  IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESS structure.

- Flags field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure doesn't represent any of
  administratively and operatinal statuses. It just represents settings
  for windows network adapter.

- MTU field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure may have a uint32(-1) on
  64-bit platform. We need to convert the value to interger
  appropriately.

- IfType field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure is not a bit field.
  Bitwire operation for the field is completely wrong.

- OperStatus field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure is not a bit field.
  Bitwire operation for the field is completely wrong.

- IPv6IfIndex field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure is just a
  substitute for IfIndex field. We cannot prefer IPv6IfIndex to IfIndex.

- Windows XP, 2003 server and below don't set OnLinkPrefixLength field
  of IP_ADAPTER_UNICAST_ADDRESS structure. We cannot rely on the field
  on old kernels. We can use FirstPrefix field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES
  structure and IP_ADAPTER_PREFIX structure instead.

- Length field of IP_ADAPTER_{UNICAST,ANYCAST,MULTICAST}_ADDRESS
  sturecures doesn't represent an address prefix length. It just
  represents a socket address length.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.


Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
