bridging vlan problem

Hi,


This problem has always existed but now in RELENG_7+ since the vlan tag
is always stripped on the incoming packet its a little more obvious.

The bridging output function puts the mbuf directly on the interfaces
send queue so only network cards with VLAN_HWTAGGING will properly
re-tag any outgoing vlan frames.

The attached patch fixes this as well as putting the common vlan
encapsulation code in to ether_vlanencap().

Any comments please, I want to commit this soon so I have more chance of
getting it into 7.0
