MFC r356688, r356694: tap(4) manpage improvements
r356688:
Install tap(4) manpage as vmnet(4) as well
If one comes across a vmnet interface, this is a useful pointer to have
towards what it actually is if they're otherwise unfamiliar.
r356694:
tap(4): also note that we drop configured addresses
This provides a specific pointer for users of tap(4) to understand why their
interfaces are losing their addresses, and specifically how to workaround
this if they need different behavior.
This manpage received a .Dd bump earlier today in r35688, so no bump occurs
this time.

MFC r326362:
Disallow TUN and TAP character device IOCTLs to modify the network device
type to any value. This can cause page faults and panics due to accessing
uninitialized fields in the "struct ifnet" which are specific to the network
device type.

Redo r274966. Instead of global all-interface all-vnet undocumented sysctl,

Cross reference tap(4) and tun(4) and include a short explanation as
to how they differ. This will assist users in selecting which interface
is more appropriate for their purposes.

Implement ifnet cloning for tun(4)/tap(4).
Make devfs cloning a sysctl/tunable which defaults to on.
If devfs cloning is enabled, only the super-user may create
tun(4)/tap(4)/vmnet(4) instances. Devfs cloning is still enabled by
default; it may be disabled from the loader or via sysctl with
"net.link.tap.devfs_cloning" and "net.link.tun.devfs_cloning".
Disabling its use affects potentially all tun(4)/tap(4) consumers
including OpenSSH, OpenVPN and VMware.

mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

Add the tap driver.
The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.
This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.
