Kevin Bowling 316f6f2f7f igbv: Isolate VF policy and validate its registers ...

Give igb virtual functions a separate ifdi method table and move
VF-specific attach, reset, queue, interrupt, and diagnostic policy to
if_igbv.c. Keep shared descriptor-ring mechanisms in if_em.c.

Derive VF identity from IFLIB_IS_VF and assert that hardware
identification agrees. Under INVARIANTS, validate normal VF CSR
accesses against the sparse 82576 and I350 VF register maps.

Stop shared setup from accessing PF-only controls. Require MSI-X and
defer VF sysctls until attach succeeds so failed attachment cannot
leave handlers pointing at freed driver state.

Advertise only VF capabilities, run adaptive moderation without the
PF receive-buffer guard, enable SRRCTL.DROP_EN, and provide a VF-safe
diagnostic register view.

The moved implementation is the existing FreeBSD code. Register model
was cross-checked against the Intel datasheets and other Intel drivers.
