Robert Watson e5adda3d51 Remove IFF_NEEDSGIANT, a compatibility infrastructure introduced
in FreeBSD 5.x to allow network device drivers to run with Giant
despite the network stack being Giant-free.  This significantly
simplifies calls into ioctl() on network interfaces, especially
in the multicast code, as well as eliminates deferred invocation
of interface if_start routines.

Disable the build on device drivers still depending on
IFF_NEEDSGIANT as they no longer compile.  They will be removed
in a few weeks if they haven't been made MPSAFE in that time.
Disabled drivers:

        if_ar
        if_axe
        if_aue
        if_cdce
        if_cue
        if_kue
        if_ray
        if_rue
        if_rum
        if_sr
        if_udav
        if_ural
        if_zyd

Drivers that were already disabled because of tty changes:

        if_ppp
        if_sl
