Third round of porting netdev stuff to FreeBSD.

A few words on virNetDevTapCreate() changes since the previous
review:

 - it seems that there's no way to avoid iteration over
   possible interface names, at least I wasn't able
   to find fucntions for that available from userland
 - replaced 255 with IF_MAXUNIT, which appears to be a
   proper constant for that
 - if we requested to set tapfd, open the device before
   rename while we still have the original interface name,
   as the device entry stays the same, i.e. if we rename
   tap0 to vnet0, it would be still accessible at /dev/tap0,
   not /dev/vnet0. Fail if the open() failed

Roman Bogorodskiy (4):
  FreeBSD: implement virNetDevExists() and virNetDevSetName().
  Make virNetDevSetupControl() public.
  FreeBSD: implement virNetDevSetMAC() and virNetDevGetMTU().
  FreeBSD: implement virNetDevTapCreate() and virNetDevTapDelete().
