The current implementation including Go 1.5 through 1.5.2 misuses
Windows API and mishandles the returned values from GetAdapterAddresses
on Windows. This change fixes various issues related to network facility
information by readjusting interface and interface address parsers.
Updates #5395.

Also fixes fragile screen scraping test cases in net_windows_test.go.
Additional information for reviewers:
It seems like almost all the issues above have the same root cause and
it is misunderstanding of Windows API. If my interpretation of the
information on MSDN is correctly, current implementation contains the
following bugs:
- SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST should not be used for IPv6. The behavior of
SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST is different on kernels and probably it doesn't
work correctly for IPv6 on old kernels such as Windows XP w/ SP2.
Unfortunately MSDN doesn't describe the detail of
SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST, but information on the net suggests so.
- Fetching IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structures with fixed size area may not
work when using IPv6. IPv6 generates ton of interface addresses for
various addressing scopes. We need to adjust the area appropriately.
- PhysicalAddress field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure may have extra
space. We cannot ignore PhysicalAddressLength field of
IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESS structure.
- Flags field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure doesn't represent any of
administratively and operatinal statuses. It just represents settings
for windows network adapter.
- MTU field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure may have a uint32(-1) on
64-bit platform. We need to convert the value to interger
appropriately.
- IfType field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure is not a bit field.
Bitwire operation for the field is completely wrong.
- OperStatus field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure is not a bit field.
Bitwire operation for the field is completely wrong.
- IPv6IfIndex field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure is just a
substitute for IfIndex field. We cannot prefer IPv6IfIndex to IfIndex.
- Windows XP, 2003 server and below don't set OnLinkPrefixLength field
of IP_ADAPTER_UNICAST_ADDRESS structure. We cannot rely on the field
on old kernels. We can use FirstPrefix field of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES
structure and IP_ADAPTER_PREFIX structure instead.
- Length field of IP_ADAPTER_{UNICAST,ANYCAST,MULTICAST}_ADDRESS
sturecures doesn't represent an address prefix length. It just
represents a socket address length.
