    if_tap: Remove the broken vmnet support
    
    The vmnet feature provided by tap(4) was intended to be used by the
    VMWare port that runs as the server side to communicate with its clients.
    However, our tap(4) was updated a lot in the past but left the vmnet
    function broken.  In addition, we don't have the VMWare server and thus
    the vmnet function isn't needed in the foreseeable future.
    So just remove it.
