proxy arp and MPD in RELENG_8

[Li, Qing]

Hi,

I think I managed to reproduce this issue. The root cause appears
to be the SIN_PROXY usage, which is no longer part of any routing
entry after the L2/L3 rewrite. As such, the RTM_GET command
should be issued once in the ARP utility, not twice. 

In addition, since ARP does not apply to PPP link type, the 
prefix route of the local end point needs to be returned
in order for the subsequent RTM_ADD command to succeed.
I need to update the routing code a bit more to properly
handle such proxy-arp scenario.

In the meantime, please try a hack at

and let me know how it works out for you. The hack appears
to work in my test environment.

I need just a bit more time to work out the permanent
solution in the kernel routing code, as well as the
utilities in the userland.
