complex code duplication and improves its readability.
Alas, we shouldn't rename the macro to VLAN_TAG_LVALUE()
globally because that would cause pain for kernel module
port maintainers and vendors using FreeBSD as their codebase.
Added a clarifying comment instead.

a packet has VLAN mbuf tag attached. This is faster to check than
m_tag_locate(), and allows us to use the tags in non-vlan(4) VLAN
producers.
The first argument to VLAN_OUTPUT_TAG() is now unused but retained
for backward compatibility.
While here, embellish a fix in rev. 1.174 of if_ethersubr.c -- it
now checks for packets with VLAN (mbuf) tags, and it should now
be possible to bridge(4) on vlan(4)'s whose parent interfaces
support VLAN decapsulation in hardware.

Fix some typos in the comment as well.

doing it here doesn't hurt and insures consistency.)
- In vlan_ioctl(), don't let the user set a VLAN ID value with anything
besides the VLID bits set, otherwise we will have trouble matching
an interface in vlan_input() later.

drivers "tag packets" with an m_tag and the input packet handling recognizes
such packets and does the right thing
o track the number of active vlans on an interface; this lets lots of places
only do vlan-specific processing when needed
o track changes to ether_ifdetach/ether_ifattach
o track bpf changes
o eliminate the use of M_PROTO1 for communicating to drivers about tagged
packets
o eliminate the use of IFF_LINK0 for drivers communicating to the vlan code
that they support h/w tagging; replaced by explicit interface capabilities
o add ifnet capabilities for h/w tagging and support of "large mtu's"
o use new interface capabilities to auto-configure use of large mtu's and h/w
tagging
o add support for proper handling of promiscuous mode
o document driver/vlan communication conventions

be able to transmit and receive syntactically-correct packets.
Also fixes one of if_ethersubr.c's legion style bugs, and removes
the hostcache code from standard kernels---the code that depends on it
is not going to happen any time soon, I'm afraid.
