This makes
- the function not update the arguments for storing results on error,
- use dhcp6_option_parse() to parse sub options,
- ignore all errors, except for -ENOMEM, in parsing sub options,
- update log messages.
This also introduce dhcp6_option_parse_ia_options(). Currently, it is
assumed that each IA address or PD prefix may contain a status sub-option.
But it is not prohibited that other sub-options or multiple status
options are contained.
- merge dhcp6_option_parse() with option_parse_hdr().
- do not assign/update any values on error.
- use assert() instead of assert_return(), as the assertions cannot
be triggered by a library user.
Also,
- drop unnecessary +1 from buffer size, as IF_NAMESIZE or IFNAMSIZ
includes the nul at the end.
- format_ifname() does not update buffer on failure,
- introduces format_ifname_alloc(), FORMAT_IFNAME(), and their friends.
This is a small cosmetic change.

In general we almost never hit those asserts in production code, so users see
them very rarely, if ever. But either way, we just need something that users
can pass to the developers.
We have quite a few of those asserts, and some have fairly nice messages, but
many are like "WTF?" or "???" or "unexpected something". The error that is
printed includes the file location, and function name. In almost all functions
there's at most one assert, so the function name alone is enough to identify
the failure for a developer. So we don't get much extra from the message, and
we might just as well drop them.
Dropping them makes our code a tiny bit smaller, and most importantly, improves
development experience by making it easy to insert such an assert in the code
without thinking how to phrase the argument.
See RFC 5227 section 2.1.1.
This introduces a callback which intend to a library user, e.g.
networkd, checks whether the sender hardware address is a MAC address of
the host's intrerface or not.
