Proposal: remove encap from MROUTING

[Bruce M. Simpson]

I count no objections and +1 in favour from Andre.

To maintain POLA, I will decapitate (Argh, pun) it from HEAD with no MFC 
to begin with.

Arguments in favour:
 * mrouted was removed from the base system.
 * PIM does not use MROUTING's IPIP tunnels, and PIM is regarded as the 
standard these days for multicast routing.
 * MROUTING's internal tunnels do not have any management capabilities; 
gif(4) has.
 * It achieves some diff reduction with OpenBSD.
 * Reduces locking/netisr fandango.
 * The MROUTING paths could do with some overall cleanup anyway, and it 
doesn't seem appropriate to merge back such work, except as a backport.

I plan to commit this patch some time this week.

Regards,
BMS
