    ifconfig: make interface address without mask an error
    
    In commit d8237b955528, as part of the deprecation of IPv4 address
    classes, Mike Karels introduced a warning in ifconfig for setting an
    address without a width or mask.  The commit message says "This will
    hopefully be an error in the future."
    
    As the warning has been included in releases from FreeBSD 13.1 on, and
    sufficient time has passed, turn this into an error.
