Log Message:
Add sysctl nodes to control fragmentation with IPv[46] over IPv6 gif(4).

New sysctl node "net.inet6.ip6.gifpmtu" means
    - 0 (default)
      Fragment by IPV6_MMTU. All packets reach the destination certainly,
      however the long packet performance is poor.
      This is same behavior as before.
    - 1
      Fragment by outer interface's MTU. The long packet performance would
      be good, however the packets may be dropped in some network paths
      whose path MTU less than the interface's MTU.
    - others
      undefined yet

New sysctl node "net.interfaces.gif*.pmtu" means
    - -1 (default)
      Use system default value (net.inet6.ip6.gifpmtu).
    - 0
      Fragment by IPV6_MMTU for this gif(4) tunnel.
    - 1
      Fragment by outer interface's MTU for this gif(4) tunnel.
    - others
      undefined yet
