When displaying sizes of various sorts, tc commonly uses the function
sprint_size() to format the size into a buffer as a human-readable string.
This string is then displayed either using print_string(), or in some code
even fprintf(). As a result, a typical sequence of code when formatting a
size is something like the following:
SPRINT_BUF(b);
print_uint(PRINT_JSON, "foo", NULL, foo);
print_string(PRINT_FP, NULL, "foo %s ", sprint_size(foo, b));
For a concept as broadly useful as size, it would be better to have a
dedicated function in json_print.
To that end, move sprint_size() from tc_util to json_print. Add helpers
print_size() and print_color_size() that wrap arount sprint_size() and
provide the JSON dispatch as appropriate.
Since print_size() should be the preferred interface, convert vast majority
of uses of sprint_size() to print_size(). Two notable exceptions are:
- q_tbf, which does not show the size as such, but uses the string
"$human_readable_size/$cell_size" even in JSON. There is simply no way to
have print_size() emit the same text, because print_size() in JSON mode
should of course just use the raw number, without human-readable frills.
- q_cake, which relies on the existence of sprint_size() in its macro-based
formatting helpers. There might be ways to convert this particular case,
but given q_tbf simply cannot be converted, leave it as is.

This patch adapts the tc command line interface to allow bandwidth limits
to be specified as a percentage of the interface's capacity.
Adding this functionality requires passing the specified device string to
each class/qdisc which changes the prototype for a couple of functions: the
.parse_qopt and .parse_copt interfaces. The device string is a required
parameter for tc-qdisc and tc-class, and when not specified, the kernel
returns ENODEV. In this patch, if the user tries to specify a bandwidth
percentage without naming the device, we return an error from userspace.

This big patch was compiled by vimgrepping for memset calls and changing
to C99 initializer if applicable. One notable exception is the
initialization of union bpf_attr in tc/tc_bpf.c: changing it would break
for older gcc versions (at least <=3.4.6).
Calls to memset for struct rtattr pointer fields for parse_rtattr*()
were just dropped since they are not needed.
The changes here allowed the compiler to discover some unused variables,
so get rid of them, too.

Clearer error messages for fifo and tbf qdiscs:
- Say who is complaining
- Don't just say a parameter is bad, show the offending parameter
- Be clearer about duplicate parameters vs illegal pairs of parameters
- Try to give multiple error messages rather than let the user discover the errors one by one
- When there are parameter aliases, try to use the variant that was used, or at least mention them all
Note that in the old version an empty parameter list to tbf would just cause an explain() message
without a specific error message. By simply removing the relevant error check, the code now
handles this error more gracefully by printing an error message for all mandatory parameters.
It still prints the explain() message.

This adds the required changes to gain access to
the head drop classfull queuing discipline named
pfifo_head_drop. In difference to pfifo or pfifo_fast
this queuing discipline will drop the first packet
in the case of queue congestion. As a result the queue
contain always the freshest packets.
To replace the current a root queueing discipline
for eth0:
$ tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root pfifo_head_drop
And show statistics:
$ tc -s qdisc show dev eth0
