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.
