Nanostack object constructor didn't actually initialise Nanostack.
Nanostack initialisation was deferred until an interface was actually
attached to the stack, which generally happened at first interface
connect.
Not normally a problem, unless you're trying to make direct Nanostack
setup calls prior to connect - some applications do this, and were
relying on ThreadInterface::initialise to do Nanostack
initialisation.
Unfortunately in 5.9 ThreadInterface::initialise no longer does
initialise Nanostack immediately, because the mesh interfaces were
aligned and integrated with the Ethernet interfaces, which did
initialisation on connect().
Make the Nanostack object constructor initialise Nanostack (as the LWIP
constructor does for lwIP), so calling Nanostack::get_instance() is the
5.9 API for Nanostack initialisation.
For future work, APIs like ns_file_system_set_root_path should be
exposed as methods of Nanostack, so everything happens with a single
Nanostack::get_instance().file_system_set_root_path().
### Description
Full paths in the map file are required to have correct memap parsing.
This PR adds the option `--show_full_path` to ARMC6 in every profile.
This option only affects the map file output, so it's safe to add.
When all TX descriptors were reserved in a row so that TX buffer
reclaim interrupt did not happen during reservation sequence, after
the interrupt occurred, TX buffer reclaim did no longer free buffers.
This happened because when all descriptors were in use, last free
index pointed to consumed index.
TX pointer array was using RX ring length in its declaration.
Wasted memory if RX ring > TX ring, as is the default, but would
be broken if RX ring < TX ring.
16 RX buffers and 8 TX buffers is probably excessive. Nanostack
version of driver successfully used 4+4, and data pump should be
broadly equivalent.
This means that switching K64F devices from Nanostack to EMAC increases
base heap usage by 18K - observed in Nanostack border router builds.
Add a config option to make it possible to lower the number of buffers.
Defer consideration of lowering the default to later.
DNS resolver now counts how many sendto operations are successful
during one DNS server attempt cycle (attempting to contact DNS
servers from 0 to last index, including stack specific ones). If all
socket sendto operations fail, DNS resolution is aborted.
If one or more are successful, DNS resolution is continued until
total network attempts count is reached or all sendto operations
fails during a cycle.
