/*
 * =c
 * DecIP6HLIM()
 * =s IPv6
 * 
 * =d
 * Expects IP6 packet as input.
 * If the hlim is <= 1 (i.e. has expired),
 * DecIP6HLIM sends the packet to output 1 (or discards it if there is no
 * output 1).
 * Otherwise it decrements the hlim,
 * and sends the packet to output 0.
 * 
 * Ordinarily output 1 is connected to an ICMP6 error packet generator.
 *
 * =e
 * This is a typical IP6 input processing sequence:
 *
 *   ... -> CheckIP6Header -> dt::DecIP6HLIM -> ...
 *   dt[1] -> ICMP6Error(...) -> ...
 *
 * =a ICMP6Error, CheckIP6Header
