Persistently store NIC's hardware MAC address, and add a way to retrive it

[rpokala]

Summary

The MAC address reported by `ifconfig ${nic} ether' does not always match
the address in the hardware, as reported by the driver during attach. In
particular, NICs which are components of a lagg(4) interface all report the
same MAC.

When attaching, the NIC driver passes the MAC address it read from the
hardware as an argument to ether_ifattach(). Keep a second copy of it, and
create ioctl(SIOCGHWADDR) to return it. Teach `ifconfig' to report it along
with the active MAC address.

I wonder if it makes more sense to allocate in ether_ifattach.

ether_ifattach() doesn't do any allocations, while most of the allocations for the ifnet are here, so that's what I went with.

Is it possible to at least make it conditional on the interface type? It seems like a poor idea to allocate memory isn't used.

Good point. I'll make it conditional on (ifp->if_type == IFT_ETHER), and also add a NULL-check in if_gethwaddr().

[rpokala]

Address review comments from brooks: only store / retrieve for IFT_ETHER.

@glebius - Please review at your earliest convenience. If you don't think you can get to it in the next week, I'll find someone else. Thanks!
