In network6_getladdr() we are iterating over inet6 lines and are not
interested in any others. So tell ifconfig to limit output to "inet6"
as much as possible.
This is probably a micro-optimisation but was noticed while looking
at other IPv6-related boot-time improvements.

Enable ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED when the interface is created in the
kernel before return to user space.
This avoids a race when an interface is create by a program which
also calls ifconfig IF inet6 -ifdisabled and races with the
devd -> /etc/pccard_ether -> .. netif start IF -> ifdisabled
calls (the devd/rc framework disabling IPv6 again after the program
had enabled it already).
In case the global net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv was turned on,
we also default to enabling IPv6 on the interfaces, rather than
disabling them.

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.
MFC after: 1 week
ifconfig(8) syntax allows to specify only single address_family,
so we need additional invocation of ifconfig to support configuration
of cloned gif interface that may use different address families
for its internal and external addresses.
Also, ifconfig(8) does not allow to omit "inet6" keyword for address family
specifying IPv6 addresses as outer addresses of the interface.
Also, address_family is not "parameter" and it has to go before parameters
including "tunnel" keyword, so "ifconfig gif0 tunnel inet6 $oip1 $oip2" would be
wrong syntax and only "ifconfig gif0 inet6 tunnel $oip1 $oip2" is right.
With this change, the following works:
gifconfig_gif0="inet6 2a00::1 2a01::1"
ifconfig_gif0="inet 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.252"

It seems my subconcious plan in r345088 to not only prefer IPv6 autoconf
but to also slowly deteriorate legacy IP auto-configuration was uncovered
way too early.
In case IPv6 is a thing yet ipv6_autoconfif was not true, we would not
bring up the interface yet tell the follow-up DHCPv4 configuration in
ifconfig_up() that we did. So unless you were doing SYNCDHCP or IPv6
you would not get legacy-IP DHCPv4 configuration.
I see multiple problems here: (a) people not yet using IPv6 (obviously a
problem), and (b) the dhclient startup script not running dhclient in
that case despite configured to do so (needs to be investigated seperately).

Pointyhat to: bz (not sure if it is for breaking or
for letting them notice it so easily)
Before this change we would only run rtsol on an interface which was
set to accept_rtadv and did not have rtsold enabled. This change
removes the latter condition and always runs rtsol (rather than the
deferred rtsold) to reduce the delay until we send the first RS.
This change will also handle the accept_rtadv before dhcp hence
starting IPv6 auto-configuration before IPV4 DHCP.
This change is intended for FreeBSD 13 and later only and will not be MFCed.

They will stop it automatically ('Interface wlan0 is down,
dhclient exiting'); use /etc/rc.d/dhclient stop command only when
none of them is used.

The reasons for this are forward looking to pkgbase:
* /sbin/init is a special binary; try not to replace it with
every package update because an rc script was touched.
(a follow-up commit will make init its own package)
* having rc in its own place will allow more easy replacement
of the rc framework with alternatives, such as openrc.
