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.
