Followup to r362502: rc.conf(5): unobsolete gif_interfaces

Browse Source 
There are cases when gif_interfaces cannot be replaced
with cloned_interfaces, such as tunnels with external IPv6 addresses
and internal IPv4 or vice versa. Such configuration requires
extra invocation of ifconfig(8) and supported with gif_interfaces only.

Fix manual page and provide some examples.

This variable is deprecated in favor of
.Va cloned_interfaces .
Set to the list of
.Xr gif 4
tunnel interfaces to configure on this host.
For each
.Xr gif
tunnel interface, set a variable named
.Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
with the parameters for the
.Xr ifconfig 8
command to configure the link level for
.Ar interface
with the
.Cm tunnel
option.
A
.Va gifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
variable is assumed to exist for each value of
.Ar interface .
The value of this variable is used to configure the link layer of the
tunnel using the
.Cm tunnel
option to
.Xr ifconfig .
For example, configure two
.Xr gif
interfaces with:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
gif_interfaces="gif0 gif1"
ifconfig_gif0="tunnel src_addr0 dst_addr0"
ifconfig_gif1="tunnel src_addr1 dst_addr1"

Additionally, this option ensures that each listed interface is created
via the
.Cm create
option to
.Xr ifconfig .
This example also works with
.Va cloned_interfaces
instead of
.Va gif_interfaces .
.Xr ifconfig
before attempting to configure it.
.Pp
For example, configure two
.Xr gif
interfaces with:
.Bd -literal
gif_interfaces="gif0 gif1"
gifconfig_gif0="100.64.0.1 100.64.0.2"
ifconfig_gif0="inet 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.252"
