MFC r339703, r347365, r347703, r347940
r339703: Deprecate a number of less used 10 and 10/100 Ethernet devices.
The current deprecated list is: ae, bm, cs, de, dme, ed, ep, ex, fe, pcn, sf, sn, tl, tx, txp, vx, wb, xe
The list as refined as part of FCP-0101. Per the FCP, devices may be removed from the deprecation list if enough users are found or they are converted to iflib.
FCP: https://github.com/freebsd/fcp/blob/master/fcp-0101.md
r347365: Update dme(4) to reflect that it will not be removed due to FCP-101.
dme(4) is the built-in NIC on a couple non-expandable mips platforms and thus should remain. The FCP has been updated to reflect this fact.
Discussed with: imp
r347703: FCP-101: ae(4) is sufficently popular to be moved to the keep list.
r347940: Remove the notice that ae(4) will be removed in FreeBSD 13.

The r48589 promised to remove implicit inclusion of if_var.h soon. Prepare to this event, adding if_var.h to files that do need it. Also, include all includes that now are included due to implicit pollution via if_var.h

- There's no need to overwrite the default device method with the default one. Interestingly, these are actually the default for quite some time (bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9) since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily. Discussed with: jhb, marcel - While at it, use DEVMETHOD_END. Discussed with: jhb - Also while at it, use __FBSDID.

- Import the common MII bitbang'ing code from NetBSD and convert drivers to take advantage of it instead of duplicating it. This reduces the size of the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 4k. The only potential in-tree user left unconverted is xe(4), which generally should be changed to use miibus(4) instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to xe(4) just for the MII bitbang'ing code. The common MII bitbang'ing code also is useful in the embedded space for using GPIO pins to implement MII access. - Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an index register as well as register bank/window switching is subject to the same problem, also add bus barriers to the respective functions of smc(4), tl(4) and xl(4). - Sprinkle some const.
Thanks to the following testers: Andrew Bliznak (nge(4)), nwhitehorn@ (bm(4)), yongari@ (sis(4) and ste(4)) Thanks to Hans-Joerg Sirtl for supplying hardware to test stge(4).

Convert the PHY drivers to honor the mii_flags passed down and convert the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For the most part these were: - Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired address(es) instead. - PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe()) and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/ IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they don't actually access the multicast address list.
