Subject: The functions m_copym() and m_copypacket() return read-only copies,
 because in the case of mbuf clusters they only increment the reference count
 rather than actually copying the data.

Add comments to this effect, and add a new routine called m_dup() that
returns a real, writable copy of an mbuf chain.

This is preliminary work required for implementing 'ipfw tee'.
