Move the cloned interface list management in to if_clone. For some drivers the
softc lists and associated mutex are now unused so these have been removed.

Calling if_clone_detach() will now destroy all the cloned interfaces for the
driver and in most cases is all thats needed to unload.

Change the reference counting to count the number of cloned interfaces for each
cloner. This ensures that ifc->ifc_units is not prematurely freed in
if_clone_detach() before the clones are destroyed, resulting in memory modified
after free. This could be triggered with if_vlan.

Assert that all cloners have been destroyed when freeing the memory.

Change all simple cloners to destroy their clones with ifc_simple_destroy() on
module unload so the reference count is properly updated. This also cleans up
the interface destroy routines and allows future optimisation.

Fix some long standing bugs in writing to the BPF device attached to
a DLT_NULL interface. In particular:

1) Consistently use type u_int32_t for the header of a
DLT_NULL device - it continues to represent the address
family as always.
2) In the DLT_NULL case get bpf_movein to store the u_int32_t
in a sockaddr rather than in the mbuf, to be consistent
with all the DLT types.
3) Consequently fix a bug in bpf_movein/bpfwrite which
only permitted packets up to 4 bytes less than the MTU
to be written.
4) Fix all DLT_NULL devices to have the code required to
allow writing to their bpf devices.
5) Move the code to allow writing to if_lo from if_simloop
to looutput, because it only applies to DLT_NULL devices
but was being applied to other devices that use if_simloop
possibly incorrectly.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.

This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.

Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Major overhaul of pseudo-interface cloning. Highlights include:

- Split the code out into if_clone.[ch].
- Locked struct if_clone. [1]
- Add a per-cloner match function rather then simply matching names of
the form <name><unit> and <name>.
- Use the match function to allow creation of <interface>.<tag>
vlan interfaces. The old way is preserved unchanged!
- Also the match function to allow creation of stf(4) interfaces named
stf0, stf, or 6to4. This is the only major user visible change in
that "ifconfig stf" creates the interface stf rather then stf0 and
does not print "stf0" to stdout.
- Allow destroy functions to fail so they can refuse to delete
interfaces. Currently, we forbid the deletion of interfaces which
were created in the init function, particularly lo0, pflog0, and
pfsync0. In the case of lo0 this was a panic implementation so it
does not count as a user visiable change. :-)
- Since most interfaces do not need the new functionality, an family of
wrapper functions, ifc_simple_*(), were created to wrap old style
cloner functions.
- The IF_CLONE_INITIALIZER macro is replaced with a new incompatible
IFC_CLONE_INITIALIZER and ifc_simple consumers use IFC_SIMPLE_DECLARE
instead.

Locking for updates to routing table entries. Each rtentry gets a mutex
that covers updates to the contents. Note this is separate from holding
a reference and/or locking the routing table itself.

Locking for updates to routing table entries. Each rtentry gets a mutex
that covers updates to the contents. Note this is separate from holding
a reference and/or locking the routing table itself.

Other/related changes:

o rtredirect loses the final parameter by which an rtentry reference
may be returned; this was never used and added unwarranted complexity
for locking.
o minor style cleanups to routing code (e.g. ansi-fy function decls)
o remove the logic to bump the refcnt on the parent of cloned routes,
we assume the parent will remain as long as the clone; doing this avoids
a circularity in locking during delete
o convert some timeouts to MPSAFE callouts

Notes:

1. rt_mtx in struct rtentry is guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL as user-level
applications cannot/do-no know about mutex's. Doing this requires
that the mutex be the last element in the structure. A better solution
is to introduce an externalized version of struct rtentry but this is
a major task because of the intertwining of rtentry and other data
structures that are visible to user applications.
2. There are known LOR's that are expected to go away with forthcoming
work to eliminate many held references. If not these will be resolved
prior to release.
3. ATM changes are untested.
