Bump date

Make "rtsol" functional again.

Update date

Add an "rtsol" keyword to ifconfig.if for enabling IPv6 RS/RA

Add comma in Dd. From Henning Petersen in PR 49515.

Remove redundant configuration snippet for dhclient and rtsol as dhcpcd will happily supply both needs.

Discourage the use of ifconfig_bge0=dhcp and prefer setting dhcpcd=YES
in rc.conf(5) instead.

Be more precise on the chars accepted for xxN in /etc/ifconfig.xxN
filenames, and ifconfig_xxN variables inside rc.conf(5).

Should fix PR misc/39376.

Collapse <abckslash><newline> sequences in /etc/ifconfig.xxx files read
by /etc/rc.d/network. Fixes PR 41662 by Christoph Badura, which was
also reported independently by Jeremy C. Reed.

Move explanatory text above the "dynamically-created" example,
to match other examples.

Move the 'dhcp' example so it doesn't disrput flow
into the note about use of 'create'.

RFC 3879 deprecated the IPv6 site-local prefix (fec0::/10):
* remove all references to $ip6sitelocal and output a warning
message if the variable is defined.
* introduce $ip6uniquelocal (defaults to 'NO') that will control the
behaviour of the system when $ip6mode is ``router'' (i.e. fc00::/7
will not be routed if the variable is ``NO'') as per RFC 4193.

Thanks to Jonathan A. Kollasch for pointing this out in PR 32152.

fragment (!). inspired by openbsd /etc/hostname.xxN.
