CVS commit: src/etc

src/etc: protocols
http://www.sethwklein.net/projects/iana-etc/

This breaks (at least) ipfilter, by defining protocol 0 to be hopopt.
Seems so far only some AIX variant did that, so I'd expect more lossage
in other applications. (But then, not a lot will care, probably)

For fun, go to src/dist/ipf and fgrep -r for _AIX51 and check those ifdefs.
We could just add || defined(__NetBSD__) there, but I'm not sure that is
the right fix.

Thoughts?

So does linux, but ipf does not run on it.

IANA says both ip and hopopt are protocol 0. I think that ipf should
be better off leaving the numbers untranslated in the unit-tests.
Why translate ports and services to strings? Yes, doing || defined(__NetBSD__)
would be better.
