V_irtualize the if_clone framework, thus allowing for clonable ifnets
to optionally have overlapping unit numbers if attached in different vnets. At this stage if_loop is the only clonable ifnet class that has been extended to allow for such overlapping allocation of unit numbers, i.e. in each vnet it is possible to have a lo0 interface. Other clonable ifnet classes remain to operate with traditional semantics, i.e. each instance of a clonable ifnet will be assigned a globally unique unit number, regardless in which vnet such an ifnet becomes instantiated. While here, garbage collect unused _lo_list field in struct vnet_net, as well as improve indentation for #defines in sys/net/vnet.h. The layout of struct vnet_net has changed, therefore bump __FreeBSD_version. This change has no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE kernel builds.
