Bug ID: 223407
Summary: [patch] etc/network.subr invalidates -auto_linklocal
ifconfig flag set via rc.conf

Make rc(8) respect "-auto_linklocal" flag for INET6 ifconfig
ifconfig(8) can toggle automatic link-local address configuration per
interface.
net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal predefines the default setting, which is to set
AUTO_LINKLOCAL on all interfaces.
Users should be able to disable automatic link-local address configuration
selectively, not only globally (by the mentioned sysctl).
Basically, adding "-auto_linklocal" as rc.conf(5) ifconfig_IF_ipv6 parameter
does disable AUTO_LINKLOCAL, but too late, because network.subr issues
'ifconfig inet -ifdisabled' before.
Attach patch introduces check for -auto_linklocal at that point.
