vmx(4): add native netmap support

Description

vmx(4): add native netmap support

This change adds native netmap support for the vmx(4) adapter
(vmxnet3). Native support comes for free in 12, since the driver has been
ported to iflib. To make it minimally intrusive, the native support is
only enabled if vmxnet3.netmap_native is set at boot (e.g., in loader.conf).

Tested on stable/11 running inside vmplayer.
