tap: add support for virtio-net offloads

This patch is part of an effort to make bhyve networking (in particular TCP)
faster. The key strategy to enhance TCP throughput is to let the whole packet
datapath work with TSO/LRO packets (up to 64KB each), so that the per-packet
overhead is amortized over a large number of bytes.
This capability is supported in the guest by means of the vtnet(4) driver,
which is able to handle TSO/LRO packets leveraging the virtio-net header
(see struct virtio_net_hdr and struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf).
A bhyve VM exchanges packets with the host through a network backend,
which can be vale(4) or if_tap(4).
While vale(4) supports TSO/LRO packets, if_tap(4) does not.
This patch extends if_tap(4) with the ability to understand the virtio-net
header, so that a tapX interface can process TSO/LRO packets.
A couple of ioctl commands have been added to configure and probe the
virtio-net header. Once the virtio-net header is set, the tapX interface
acquires all the IFCAP capabilities necessary for TSO/LRO.

tun/tap: merge and rename to `tuntap`

tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).

This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp

[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).

ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.

(MFC commentary)

This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.

I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

sys: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

No functional change intended.

Add the tap driver.

The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.

This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.
