Torsten Rasmussen 407b49b35c cmake: use find_package to locate Zephyr
Using find_package to locate Zephyr.

Old behavior was to use $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE} for inclusion of boiler plate
code.

Whenever an automatic run of CMake happend by the build system / IDE
then it was required that ZEPHYR_BASE was defined.
Using ZEPHYR_BASE only to locate the Zephyr package allows CMake to
cache the base variable and thus allowing subsequent invocation even
if ZEPHYR_BASE is not set in the environment.

It also removes the risk of strange build results if a user switchs
between different Zephyr based project folders and forgetting to reset
ZEPHYR_BASE before running ninja / make.

Packet socket sample
####################

Overview
********

This sample is a simple packet socket application showing usage
of packet sockets over Ethernet. The sample prints every packet
received, and sends a dummy packet every 5 seconds.
The Zephyr network subsystem does not touch any of the headers
(L2, L3, etc.).

Building and Running
********************

When the application is run, it opens a packet socket and prints
the length of the packet it receives. After that it sends a dummy
packet every 5 seconds. You can use Wireshark to observe these
sent and received packets.

See the `net-tools`_ project for more details.

This sample can be built and executed on QEMU or native_posix board as
described in :ref:`networking_with_host`.
