Implement kernel support for RFC 5549/8950.
* Relax control plane restrictions and allow specifying IPv6 gateways
for IPv4 routes. This behavior is controlled by the
net.route.rib_route_ipv6_nexthop sysctl (on by default).
* Always pass final destination in ro->ro_dst in ip_forward().
* Use ro->ro_dst to exract packet family inside if_output() routines.
Consistently use RO_GET_FAMILY() macro to handle ro=NULL case.
* Pass extracted family to nd6_resolve() to get the LLE with proper encap.
It leverages recent lltable changes committed in c541bd368f.
Presence of the functionality can be checked using ipv4_rfc5549_support feature(3).
Example usage:
route add -net 192.0.0.0/24 -inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe14:e319%vtnet0

Currently we use pre-calculated headers inside LLE entries as prepend data
for `if_output` functions. Using these headers allows saving some
CPU cycles/memory accesses on the fast path.
However, this approach makes adding L2 header for IPv4 traffic with IPv6
nexthops more complex, as it is not possible to store multiple
pre-calculated headers inside lle. Additionally, the solution space is
limited by the fact that PCB caching saves LLEs in addition to the nexthop.
Thus, add support for creating special "child" LLEs for the purpose of holding
custom family encaps and store mbufs pending resolution. To simplify handling
of those LLEs, store them in a linked-list inside a "parent" (e.g. normal) LLE.
Such LLEs are not visible when iterating LLE table. Their lifecycle is bound
to the "parent" LLE - it is not possible to delete "child" when parent is alive.
Furthermore, "child" LLEs are static (RTF_STATIC), avoding complex state
machine used by the standard LLEs.
nd6_lookup() and nd6_resolve() now accepts an additional argument, family,
allowing to return such child LLEs. This change uses `LLE_SF()` macro which
packs family and flags in a single int field. This is done to simplify merging
back to stable/. Once this code lands, most of the cases will be converted to
use a dedicated `family` parameter.

Use newly-create llentry_request_feedback(),
llentry_mark_used() and llentry_get_hittime() to
request datapatch usage check and fetch the results
in the same fashion both in IPv4 and IPv6.
While here, simplify llentry_provide_feedback() wrapper
by eliminating 1 condition check.

Specifically implement the if_requestencap callback function for infiniband.
Most of the changes are simply a cut and paste of the equivalent ethernet part.

the failover protocol is supported due to limitations in the IPoIB
architecture. Refer to the lagg(4) manual page for how to configure
and use this new feature. A new network interface type,
IFT_INFINIBANDLAG, has been added, similar to the existing
IFT_IEEE8023ADLAG .
ifconfig(8) has been updated to accept a new laggtype argument when
creating lagg(4) network interfaces. This new argument is used to
distinguish between ethernet and infiniband type of lagg(4) network
interface. The laggtype argument is optional and defaults to
ethernet. The lagg(4) command line syntax is backwards compatible.
