Remove redundant configuration snippet for dhclient and rtsol as dhcpcd will happily supply both needs.

Discourage the use of ifconfig_bge0=dhcp and prefer setting dhcpcd=YES
in rc.conf(5) instead.

Be more precise on the chars accepted for xxN in /etc/ifconfig.xxN
filenames, and ifconfig_xxN variables inside rc.conf(5).
Should fix PR misc/39376.

apb
Collapse <abckslash><newline> sequences in /etc/ifconfig.xxx files read
by /etc/rc.d/network. Fixes PR 41662 by Christoph Badura, which was
also reported independently by Jeremy C. Reed.

to match other examples.

branches: 1.11.2;
* Allow multiple commands in $ifconfig_xxN variables in rc.conf(5).
This may be done either by embedding newlines in the value,
or by using semicolons to represent line breaks (but not both at once).
* Allow shell quoting insode $ifconfig_xxN variables or /etc/ifconfig.xxN
files. This allows something like ifconfig_wi0="ssid 'my network'; dhcp"

Allow per-interface DHCP configuration using dhcpcd via
ifconfig_xxN=dhcp or a dhcp line in /etc/ifconfig.xxN.

rpaulo
branches: 1.8.20; 1.8.22; 1.8.24;
RFC 3879 deprecated the IPv6 site-local prefix (fec0::/10):
* remove all references to $ip6sitelocal and output a warning
message if the variable is defined.
* introduce $ip6uniquelocal (defaults to 'NO') that will control the
behaviour of the system when $ip6mode is ``router'' (i.e. fc00::/7
will not be routed if the variable is ``NO'') as per RFC 4193.
Thanks to Jonathan A. Kollasch for pointing this out in PR 32152.

Bump date for automatic create; new sentence fixes.

Automatically create and destroy cloning interfaces and sync IP Filter
immediately afterwards before bringing the interface up. This avoids
a small security gap existing in the previous scheme where IP Filter
was synced after all cloning interfaces were created and brought up.
