Rename man4/if_bridge.4 to man4/bridge.4 in order to be consistent with other
peueso interfaces. The .Nm name hasnt been changed and all xrefs are still
valid.

Fix and add a workaround on an issue of EtherIP packet with reversed
version field sent via gif(4)+if_bridge(4). The EtherIP
implementation found on FreeBSD 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 had
an interoperability issue because it sent the incorrect EtherIP
packets and discarded the correct ones.

This change introduces the following two flags to gif(4):

accept_rev_ethip_ver: accepts both correct EtherIP packets and ones
with reversed version field, if enabled. If disabled, the gif
accepts the correct packets only. This flag is enabled by
default.

send_rev_ethip_ver: sends EtherIP packets with reversed version field
intentionally, if enabled. If disabled, the gif sends the correct
packets only. This flag is disabled by default.

These flags are stored in struct gif_softc and can be set by
ifconfig(8) on per-interface basis.

Note that this is an incompatible change of EtherIP with the older
FreeBSD releases. If you need to interoperate older FreeBSD boxes and
new versions after this commit, setting "send_rev_ethip_ver" is
needed.

Add code that clears certain capabilities from the member interface, these are

At the moment we only clear IFCAP_TXCSUM. Since a locally generated packet on
the bridge may be sent out any one or more interfaces it cant be assumed that
every card does hardware csums. Most bridges don't generate a lot of traffic
themselves so turning off offloading won't hurt, bridged packets are
unaffected.

When pfil(9) is enabled the bridge only considers ETHERTYPE_ARP, ETHERTYPE_IP and
ETHERTYPE_IPV6 frames. Change this to be a sysctl knob so that is able to still
bridge non-IP packets if desired.

Also return early if all pfil_* sysctls are turned off, the user obviously does
not want to filter on the bridge.

Add RFC 3378 EtherIP support. This change makes it possible to add gif
interfaces to bridges, which will then send and receive IP protocol 97 packets.
Packets are Ethernet frames with an EtherIP header prepended.

Previously the bridge MTU was set to ETHERMTU and could not be changed. Since
we can only bridge interfaces with the same value it meant that all members had
to be set at ETHERMTU as well.

Allow the first member to be added to define the MTU for the bridge, the check
still applies to all additional members.

Print an informative message if the MTU is incorrect [1]

This is one of the last features that bridge.c has over if_bridge and gets us
