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.

device_printf does multiple calls to printf allowing other console messages to
be inserted between the device name, and the rest of the message. This change
uses sbuf to compose to two into a single buffer, and prints it all at once.
It exposes an sbuf drain function (drain-to-printf) for common use.
Update documentation to match; some unit tests included.

By default, cores are now assigned to queues in a sequential
manner rather than all NICs starting at the first core. On a four-core
system with two NICs each using two queue pairs, the nic:queue -> core
mapping has changed from this:
0:0 -> 0, 0:1 -> 1
1:0 -> 0, 1:1 -> 1
To this:
0:0 -> 0, 0:1 -> 1
1:0 -> 2, 1:1 -> 3
Additionally, a device can now be configured to use separate cores for TX
and RX queues.
Two new tunables have been added, dev.X.Y.iflib.separate_txrx and
dev.X.Y.iflib.core_offset. If core_offset is set, the NIC is not part
of the auto-assigned sequence.

This GRE-in-UDP encapsulation allows the UDP source port field to be
used as an entropy field for load-balancing of GRE traffic in transit
networks. Also most of multiqueue network cards are able distribute
incoming UDP datagrams to different NIC queues, while very little are
able do this for GRE packets.
When an administrator enables UDP encapsulation with command
`ifconfig gre0 udpencap`, the driver creates kernel socket, that binds
to tunnel source address and after udp_set_kernel_tunneling() starts
receiving of all UDP packets destined to 4754 port. Each kernel socket
maintains list of tunnels with different destination addresses. Thus
when several tunnels use the same source address, they all handled by
single socket. The IP[V6]_BINDANY socket option is used to be able bind
socket to source address even if it is not yet available in the system.
This may happen on system boot, when gre(4) interface is created before
source address become available. The encapsulation and sending of packets
is done directly from gre(4) into ip[6]_output() without using sockets.

This commit adds new if_alloc_domain() and if_alloc_dev() methods to
allocate ifnets. When called with a domain on a NUMA machine,
ifalloc_domain() will record the NUMA domain in the ifnet, and it will
allocate the ifnet struct from memory which is local to that NUMA
node. Similarly, if_alloc_dev() is a wrapper for if_alloc_domain
which uses a driver supplied device_t to call ifalloc_domain() with
the appropriate domain.
Note that the new if_numa_domain field fits in an alignment pad in
struct ifnet, and so does not alter the size of the structure.

r345708 worked for the base system, but unfortunately, caused a lot of
disruption for third-party packages that relied on C++, since bsd.sys.mk is
used by applications outside the base system. The defaults picked didn't match
the compiler's defaults and broke some builds that didn't specify a standard,
as well as some that overrode the value by setting `-std=gnu++14` (for
example) manually.
This change takes a more relaxed approach to appending `-std=${CXXSTD}` to
CXXFLAGS, by only doing so when the value is specified, as opposed to
overriding the standard set by an end-user. This avoids the need for having
to bake NOP default into bsd.sys.mk for supported compiler-toolchain
versions.
In order to make this change possible, add CXXSTD to Makefile snippets which
relied on the default value (c++11) added in r345708.

This fixes a bug where, even when hw.psm.tap_enabled=0, touchpad taps
were processed.
tap_enabled has three states: unconfigured, disabled, and enabled (-1, 0, 1).
To respect PR kern/139272, taps are ignored only when explicity disabled.

It is a useful arc4random wrapper in the kernel for much the same reasons as
in userspace. Move the source to libkern (because kernel build is
restricted to sys/, but userspace can include any file it likes) and build
kernel and libc versions from the same source file.
Copy the documentation from arc4random_uniform(3) to the section 9 page.
While here, add missing arc4random_buf(9) symlink.

FDT_DTS_FILE was built separately with a rule in sys/conf/files and
recreated the rules we used in dtb.mk. Now that we have other infrastructure
to build a DTB along with the kernel, fold FDT_DTS_FILE into that since it
doesn't have any special requirements.
fdt(4) never got revised to mention the DTS/DTSO make options, so do that

The imagined use is for early boot consumers of random to be able to make
decisions based on whether random is available yet or not. One such
consumer seems to be __stack_chk_init(), which runs immediately after random
is initialized. A follow-up patch will attempt to address that.
