Contribution description

This provides IPv6 fragmentation for GNRC. Reassembly was introduced in #11596 but that PR is independent from this one (though it touches similar files).

Testing procedure

Will provide tests, but

BOARD=native USEMODULE=gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag make -C tests/gnrc_udp all term

and sending large (> 1500 bytes) UDP packets to the host's TAP bridge works (ping does not work as reassembly is provided in a separate PR: #11596).

Issues/PRs references

Addresses #5371 in part.

Depends on #11593 and #11622.

Touches similar files as #11596 but can be merged independent.

Rebased to current master. This PR now doesn't have any dependencies anymore (but still remains WIP)

There is one test I'd like to add (test if forwarding a large packet does not cause refragmentation), but that can also be done as a follow-up if time presses => removing WIP.

Yup, the 28th. Just a ping for those who mentioned they wanted this in.

Since I still want to implement a test case for this, I'd prefer to have reassembly (#11596) be reviewed and merged first. It also makes more sense IMHO to first support the receiving end.

This is now finally done.

When you rebase please just squash those fixups directly.
I haven't seen the state before the fixup, so they just clutter reviewing.

Rebased and squashed (I hope I disentangled this knot correctly... the tests are passing on native) ;-)

At a first glance this looks good too - I would enjoy more documentation though.
I don't know much about IPv6 fragmentation, so maybe by the time I understand it, it's well documented 😉

Adapted tests, as ethos is perfectly fine sending huge fragmented packets, but still looses packets when receiving.

Added boards to BOARD_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY and BOARD_BLACKLIST required to the enlarged test and the (re-)inclusion of ethos into the test.

Murdock is only complaining about fixup commits (and their summary lengths).

I think I see what's going on now - but nothing more to comment on. Please squash.

Tests run on native and ek-lm4f120xl with ethos. I would like to try this with real 802.15.4 hardware, but I'm not in the office again before next week and don't really expect any surprises other than driver bugs.
Reassembly is the more critical path anyway.

If the module is not used, nothing changes, so no potential for regressions.

Can you please create an issue for the ethos bug, so we don't lose track of that? If you do, reference it in a comment for the unit test also, just squash directly.
