25cab45155 - Display the media instance numbers and allow the user to set the active
one. This is based on NetBSD but unlike NetBSD this implementation prints
  the instance number for all media instances and doesn't skip it for the
  first one as I don't see a reason to suppress it except for the vague
  reason to preserve the output for single-instance configurations.
- Fix some whitespace nits.

a68b5db066 These days P2P means peer-2-peer (also well known from serveral filesharing
protocols) while PointToPoint has been PtP links. Change the variables
accordingly while the code is still fresh and undocumented.

e6cf955ad4 Add a new address cache type called sticky. On an interface marked sticky any
address learned by the bridge is made permanent, the address will not age out
and most importantly will not migrate to another interface.

This can be used to stop mac address poisoning or clients roaming in much the
same way as static entries without the hassle of preloading the table.

905c36ce80 Bring in support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1w).
RSTP provides faster spanning tree convergence, the protocol will exchange
information with neighboring switches to quickly transition to forwarding
without creating loops. The code will default to RSTP mode but will downgrade
any port connected to a legacy STP network so is fully backward compatible.

f88e673aad Make TSO (TCP segmentation offload) capabilities visible and accessible with
'ifconfig em0 tso' and 'ifconfig em0 -tso'.  TSO for IPv4 and IPv6 is always
enabled or disabled together.  The driver may enable only one if it doesn't
support both.

Document 'tso' and '-tso' in the ifconfig(8) man pages.

3ddc14f22c For the sake of consistency and easier typing,
introduce "-tunnel" as an alias for "deletetunnel".
The latter is overly long and prone to typos,  but
keep it for POLA since it costs nothing.

2df666ab69 Add a new flag '-k' to ifconfig(8), indicating that it is alright to
print potentially sensitive keying material to stdout.  With the new
802.11 support, ifconfig(8) is now capable of printing 802.11 keys,
and did by default for the root user, which is undesirable in some
environments.  Now it will not print keying material unless requested
(and available to the user).

68cd8761a7 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
