  Log:
  Add the kernel side of network interface renaming support.
  
  The basic process is to send a routing socket announcement that the
  interface has departed, change if_xname, update the sockaddr_dl
  associated with the interface, and announce the arrival of the interface
  on the routing socket.
  
  As part of this change, ifunit() is greatly simplified by testing
  if_xname directly.  if_clone_destroy() now uses if_dname to look up the
  cloner for the interface and if_dunit to identify the unit number.
