05f24a6b77 Make the "struct if_clone" opaque to users of the cloning API. Users
now use function calls:

  if_clone_simple()
  if_clone_advanced()

to initialize a cloner, instead of macros that initialize if_clone
structure.

5393e1dd70 - Use generic alloc_unr(9) allocator for if_clone, instead
of hand-made.
- When registering new cloner, check whether a cloner with
  same name already exist.
- When allocating unit, also check with help of ifunit()
  whether such interface already exist or not. [1]

b3be1c6e3b Introduce and use a sysinit-based initialization scheme for virtual
network stacks, VNET_SYSINIT:

- Add VNET_SYSINIT and VNET_SYSUNINIT macros to declare events that will
  occur each time a network stack is instantiated and destroyed.  In the
  !VIMAGE case, these are simply mapped into regular SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT.
  For the VIMAGE case, we instead use SYSINIT's to track their order and
  properties on registration, using them for each vnet when created/
  destroyed, or immediately on module load for already-started vnets.
- Remove vnet_modinfo mechanism that existed to serve this purpose
  previously, as well as its dependency scheme: we now just use the
  SYSINIT ordering scheme.
- Implement VNET_DOMAIN_SET() to allow protocol domains to declare that
  they want init functions to be called for each virtual network stack
  rather than just once at boot, compiling down to DOMAIN_SET() in the
  non-VIMAGE case.
- Walk all virtualized kernel subsystems and make use of these instead
  of modinfo or DOMAIN_SET() for init/uninit events.  In some cases,
  convert modular components from using modevent to using sysinit (where
  appropriate).  In some cases, do minor rejuggling of SYSINIT ordering
  to make room for or better manage events.

40cfead11a Fix clone destruction, can't use the simple api because that does not remove
the ifnet from cloner's list.  Expose if_clone_destroyif api to do this.

2350e92037 Revise network interface cloning to take an optional opaque
parameter that can specify configuration parameters:
o rev cloner api's to add optional parameter block
o add SIOCCREATE2 that accepts parameter data
o rev vlan support to use new api (maintain old code)

48c0bcb5c2 Move the cloned interface list management in to if_clone. For some drivers the
softc lists and associated mutex are now unused so these have been removed.

Calling if_clone_detach() will now destroy all the cloned interfaces for the
driver and in most cases is all thats needed to unload.

e1dd867b55 Major overhaul of pseudo-interface cloning. Highlights include:
- Split the code out into if_clone.[ch].
 - Locked struct if_clone. [1]
 - Add a per-cloner match function rather then simply matching names of
   the form <name><unit> and <name>.
 - Use the match function to allow creation of <interface>.<tag>
   vlan interfaces.  The old way is preserved unchanged!
 - Also the match function to allow creation of stf(4) interfaces named
   stf0, stf, or 6to4.  This is the only major user visible change in
   that "ifconfig stf" creates the interface stf rather then stf0 and
   does not print "stf0" to stdout.
 - Allow destroy functions to fail so they can refuse to delete
   interfaces.  Currently, we forbid the deletion of interfaces which
   were created in the init function, particularly lo0, pflog0, and
   pfsync0.  In the case of lo0 this was a panic implementation so it
   does not count as a user visiable change. :-)
 - Since most interfaces do not need the new functionality, an family of
   wrapper functions, ifc_simple_*(), were created to wrap old style
   cloner functions.
 - The IF_CLONE_INITIALIZER macro is replaced with a new incompatible
   IFC_CLONE_INITIALIZER and ifc_simple consumers use IFC_SIMPLE_DECLARE
   instead.
