2fa02c5fb7 Fix handling of create operation together with setting other parameters:
o mark cmds/parameters to indicate they are potential arguments to a clone
  operation (e.g. vlantag)
o when handling a create/clone operation do the callback on seeing the first
  non-clone cmd line argument so the new device is created and can be used;
  and re-setup operating state to reflect the newly created device

fdaff6559d Restore the "plumb" compatibility command, which was lost
due to the recent change by sam@ to clone operations in ifconfig(8).

db82353d87 o replace special handling of clone operations by a clone callback
mechanism

5faf8dcb55 Overhaul to cleanup some of the tangled logic that's grown over the years.
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
