ixl(4): Update to use iflib

Description

ixl(4): Update to use iflib

Update the driver to use iflib in order to bring performance,
maintainability, and (hopefully) stability benefits to the driver.

The driver currently isn't completely ported; features that are missing:

  • VF driver (ixlv)
  • SR-IOV host support
  • RDMA support

The plan is to have these re-added to the driver before the next FreeBSD release.
