 1.4  26-Sep-2024  roy vether(4): control link state via media rather than flags

This mirrors shmif(4) from rump.
 1.3  24-Sep-2024  roy vether(4): link0 now means link state up

Which makes more sense than -link0 meaning link state up.
link0 is now a default flag when the interface is created.
 1.2  24-Sep-2024  roy vether(4): allow link state to be toggled by link0

Take link state down: ifconfig vether0 link0
Bring link state up: ifconfig vether0 -link0

Handy for testing how programs react to link state change on a VM.
 1.1  27-Sep-2020  roy branches: 1.1.26;
vether: Implement a virtual ethernet interface

The vether interface simulates a normal Ethernet interface by encapsulating
standard network frames with an Ethernet header, specifically for use as
a member in a bridge(4).

To use vether the administrator needs to configure an address onto the
interface so that packets can be routed to it. An Ethernet header will
be prepended and, if the vether interface is a member of a bridge(4),
the frame will show up there.

Taken from OpenBSD.
