This commit mostly adds code written by Claudio Jeker for OpenBSD to
support sysctl in the interface printing parts (-i, -I, -w). The port has
been ported to NetBSD with tiny adjustments -- of course all bugs etc.
are mine.
Also add and document a -X flag to force sysctl usage. The documentation
notes this flag may be removed at any time and its presence should not be
relied on.
Some misc. comments/#ifdef changes/code snippet moves as well.
Please note that no functionality should change as the routing and
interface printing code is still not fully supported.

addresses. Make the kernel support SIOC[SG]IFADDRPREF for IPv6
interface addresses.
In in6ifa_ifpforlinklocal(), consult preference numbers before
making an otherwise arbitrary choice of in6_ifaddr. Otherwise,
preference numbers are *not* consulted by the kernel, but that will
be rather easy for somebody with a little bit of free time to fix.
Please note that setting the preference number for a link-local
IPv6 address does not work right, yet, but that ought to be fixed
soon.
In support of the changes above,
1 Add a method to struct domain for "externalizing" a sockaddr, and
provide an implementation for IPv6. Expect more work in this area: it
may be more proper to say that the IPv6 implementation "internalizes"
a sockaddr. Add sockaddr_externalize().
2 Add a subroutine, sofamily(), that returns a struct socket's address
family or AF_UNSPEC.
3 Make a lot of IPv4-specific code generic, and move it from
sys/netinet/ to sys/net/ for re-use by IPv6 parts of the kernel and
ifconfig(8).
