MFC r274246:
Overhaul if_gre(4).

Split it into two modules: if_gre(4) for GRE encapsulation and
if_me(4) for minimal encapsulation within IP.

gre(4) changes:
* convert to if_transmit;
* rework locking: protect access to softc with rmlock,
protect from concurrent ioctls with sx lock;
* correct interface accounting for outgoing datagramms (count only payload size);
* implement generic support for using IPv6 as delivery header;
* make implementation conform to the RFC 2784 and partially to RFC 2890;
* add support for GRE checksums - calculate for outgoing datagramms and check
for inconming datagramms;
* add support for sending sequence number in GRE header;
* remove support of cached routes. This fixes problem, when gre(4) doesn't
work at system startup. But this also removes support for having tunnels with
the same addresses for inner and outer header.
* deprecate support for various GREXXX ioctls, that doesn't used in FreeBSD.
Use our standard ioctls for tunnels.

me(4):
* implementation conform to RFC 2004;
* use if_transmit;
* use the same locking model as gre(4);

MFC r274289 (by bz):
gcc requires variables to be initialised in two places. One of them
is correctly used only under the same conditional though.

For module builds properly check if the kernel supports INET or INET6,
as otherwise various mips kernels without IPv6 support would fail to build.

MFC r274964:
Add ip_gre.h to ObsoleteFiles.inc.

Let modules use the kernel's opt_*.h files if built along with
the kernel by wrapping all targets for fake opt_*.h files in
.if defined(KERNBUILDDIR). Thus, such fake files won't be
created at all if modules are built with the kernel.

Some modules undergo cleanup like removing unused or unneeded
options or .h files, without which they wouldn't build this way
or the other.

Fix a bug whereby the physical endpoints of a gre(4) tunnel would not
be printed, if the module were loaded into a kernel which had INET6 enabled.

The gre(4) driver does not use INET6, nor is it specified for IPv6. The
tunnel_status() function in ifconfig(8) is somewhat overzealous and assumes
that all tunnel interfaces speak KAME ifioctls.

This fix follows the path of least resistance, by teaching gre(4) about
the two KAME ifioctls concerned.

Finish driving a stake through the heart of netns and the associated
ifdefs scattered around the place - its dead Jim!

The SMB stuff had stolen AF_NS, make it official.

Since bpf is no longer an optional component, remove associated ifdef's.

Cosmetics: #define NETATALK --> #define NETATALK 1, so that it is in line with
other #define FOO.
