Add two knobs to ifconfig(8), `vlanmtu' and `vlanhwtag',
that provide control over the respective capabilities
of an interface, reception of extended frames and hardware
VLAN multiplexor.

For both ifconfig and route if we didn't get enough memory from the
prior sysctl due to the structure growing between calls try again.

Also try again for deleting routes if things fail. We've seen

For both ifconfig and route if we didn't get enough memory from the
prior sysctl due to the structure growing between calls try again.

Also try again for deleting routes if things fail. We've seen
route -f fail this way which does not actually flush all routes.
This fixes it. It will whine but it will do the work.
