the address, also kill the dhclient process. Instead of doing the
release in the stop command, move it to the precmd stage and allow
rc.subr(8) to automatically kill the dhclient process by leaving the
stop command undefined.

network interfaces could only be turned on and off as a group (all
static interfaces or all dhcp interfaces).
When used to start the interface a 'long form' ifconfig output is
used to show the status of the interface, but when stopping an interface
the script will simply output the name of the interface. This is simply my
personal preference. Hopefully as this functionality matures we can
stabilize on a prefered form of output for these scripts.
A stop command to the dhclient script now explicitly releases the dhcp lease.
Behaviour at system shutdown; however, is unchanged since dhclient is not,
by default, run at that time. The client will not release its lease
at shutdown.
take advantage of the rc.subr(8) glue. They are renamed dhclient_program
and dhclient_flags.
o Rename them in rc.conf(5)
o Rename them in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
o Add the deprecated variables to /etc/rc.subr
o Isolate the use of the 'command' variable to the
NetBSD specific parts in /etc/rc.d/dhclient.
o Now that dhcp_flags has also been renamed it will
be applied properly by rc.subr(8) glue code.

This is how it has always been done (before and after rc.d) but
I somehow failed to include it when I broke up network1.

while. This is only the script pieces, the glue for the build comes next.
