Do not invoke 'wlan_up' function from devd(8) on interface
creation event (an example to create such event:
'ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtwn0');
they're typically produced during 'service netif (re)start'
and result in duplicate interface initialization.
From the user side if WPA option is used, this result in messages like:
- /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant: WARNING: failed to start wpa_supplicant
or
- wpa_supplicant already running? (pid=xxxx).
(for HOSTAP interfaces this race may result in startup failure).
As a side effect, wpa_supplicant(8) / hostapd(8) will not be
invoked when new wlan(4) interface is created manually and
corresponding configuration for it is present in rc.conf(5).
This change does not affect device attach / removal events.

tcpdump can capture packet traces from the usb bus. usbus[0-9] are
registered as ifnet devices so this can work. When these devices come
up, devd was trying to run pccard_ether on those interfaces, which
didn't exist and generated an error.
This helps with pkgbase as it switches these to using CONFS so they are
properly tagged as config files.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16781
o improve parsing and lexing
o create data structures based on the parsed file now.
o Still need to rewrite main loop and add regex (still uses hard coded
devd-generic)
o minor man page updates.
# There should be one more commit before rc2

arbitrary commands when devices come and go in the device tree (which is
different than the /dev directory).
This is an initial version. Much of the planned power isn't here.
Instead of doing the full matching, we always run /etc/devd-generic.
/etc/devd.generic will go away at some point, I think.
I'm committing it in this early state so I can start getting feedback
from early adapters.
