/**
* Search the ARP table for a specific entry.
*
* If ipaddr is given, return a matching pending or stable ARP entry. If
* no matching entry is found, a new pending entry is created. If no empty
* entry is available and the ETHARP_CREATE flag is given, an old entry
* is recycled to create the new entry.
* If an IP address is given, return a pending or stable ARP entry that matches
* the address. If no match is found, create a new entry with this address set,
* but in state ETHARP_EMPTY. The caller must check and possibly change the
* state of the returned entry.
*
* If ipaddr is NULL, return an empty entry. If no empty entry is found,
* and the ETHARP_CREATE flag is given, an old stable entry is recycled to
* create a new empty entry.
* If ipaddr is NULL, return a initialized new entry in state ETHARP_EMPTY.
*
* In all cases, attempt to create new entries from an empty entry. If no
* empty entries are available and ETHARP_CREATE flag is set, recycle
* old entries. Heuristic choose the least important entry for recycling.
*
* @param ipaddr IP address to find in ARP cache, or to add if not found.
* @param flags
* - ETHARP_CREATE: Try hard to create a entry by allowing recycling.
*
* @return The ARP entry index that matched or is created, ERR_MEM if no
* entry is found or could be recycled.
