Mark module tun obsolete
While looking into creating a new module for the tap pseudo-device, I
noticed that for tun(4) we create both an 'if_tun' module and another
'tun' module. The latter of these seems to have no purpose other than
to require the former.
Perhaps there was a time when the autoload code for network drivers
would not add the 'if_' prefix to the interface name (ie, autoload would
only load 'tun'). But in any case that would no longer be necessary, as
creating a tun interface now properly autoloads the 'if_tun' module.
Therefore, I propose to remove the tun module from the distribution.
Any objections?
