special-purpose code to display status for an interface for
state that was not address-oriented. This status reporting
was merged in to the address-oriented status reporting but
did not work for link address reporting (as discovered with
fwip interfaces). Correct this mis-merge and eliminate the
bogus kludge that was used for link-level address reporting.
o add an af_other_status method for an address family for
reporting status of things like media, vlan, etc.
o call the af_other_status methods after reporting address
status for an interface
o special-case link address status; when reporting all
status for an interface invoke it specially prior to
reporting af_other_status methods (since it requires the
sockaddr_dl that is passed in to status separately from
the rtmsg address state)
o correct the calling convention for link address status;
don't cast types, construct the proper parameter
This fixes ifconfig on fwip interfaces.
o break per-address family support out into separate files
o modularize per-address family and functional operations using
a registration mechanism; this permits configuration according
to which files you include (but beware that order of the files
is important to insure backwards compatibility)
o many cleanups to eliminate incestuous behaviour, global variables,
and poor coding practices (still much more to fix)
The original motivation of this work was to support dynamic addition
of functionality based on the interface so we can eliminate the various
little control programs and so that vendors can distribute ifconfig
plugins that support their in-kernel code. That work is still to be
completed.
o Update 802.11 support for all the new net80211 functionality; some
of these operations (e.g. list *) may be better suited in a different
program
increasing it. Add code to ifconfig to use this size to find the
sockaddr_dl after the struct if_data in the routing message. This
allows struct if_data to grow (up to 255 bytes) without breaking
ifconfig.

the bug exists in little-endian machine, it was not triggered due
to the difference of memory ordering between little/big endian
machines. Instead of relying on possibly modified value during
function invokcations, use saved copy of ifr.ifr_addr.sa_family.
Also add a comment at the top of ifconfig.c clarifying the issue
so the bug won't re-appear.

prior sysctl due to the structure growing between calls try again.
Also try again for deleting routes if things fail. We've seen
route -f fail this way which does not actually flush all routes.
This fixes it. It will whine but it will do the work.

reorganize the printing of the interface name when using wildcard

Prevent the kernel from potentially overflowing the interface name
variable. The size argument of strlcpy is complex because the name is
not null-terminated in sdl_data.
