Summary

vnet.interface and zfs.dataset can be used to specify multiple
interfaces/datasets in jail.conf, but not on the command-line, which is
a bit surprising. Extend the handling of ip(4|6).addr to those
parameters, update the description of vnet.interface in jail.8, and add
a rudimentary regression test.

Note that list-based parameters can be specified disjointedly.

The tests looks good. I need some time to read the code carefully ...

Not really part of this specific problem, but jail(8) should auto-recognize list parameters because their SYSCTL_JAIL specification has a type with ",a" appended. Ideally, it would build a list of such parameters it sees like that. For non-kernel parameters like vnet.interface and zfs.dataset, putting them in the array is probably as good as its going to get.
