When aliasing a kernel module to a different name (ie if_igb for if_em),
it's better to use symlinks than hard links. kldxref will omit entries for
the links, ensuring that the loaded module has the correct name.

Rename functions and variables from ixlv to iavf to match the
user-facing name change. There shouldn't be any functional changes
with this change, but this may help with browsing the source code
and reducing diffs in the future.

Finishes the conversion of the 40Gb Intel Ethernet drivers to iflib(9) for
FreeBSD 12.0, and fixes numerous bugs in both ixl(4) and iavf(4).
This commit also re-adds the VF driver to GENERIC since it now compiles and
functions.
The VF driver name was changed from ixlv(4) to iavf(4) because the VF driver is
now intended to be used with future products, not just with Fortville/Fort Park
VFs.
A man page update that documents these drivers is forthcoming in a separate
commit.
