Patch for new net/intel-igb-kmod port

For building out-of-tree drivers for Intel network adapters, there are seve=
ral
existing ports for em(4), ix(4), and ixl(4), but not igb(4).  I have a
Protectli network appliance, VP2410, that uses this network adapter, so it =
is
useful to have a port to easily rebuild the kernel module from time-to-time.

This is my first stab at a FreeBSD port, but it seems simple enough by basi=
ng
off of the existing net/intel-em-kmod port makefile.  Unlike the em(4) port,
this driver's source is FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-ready and did not require simi=
lar
changes as found in intel-em-kmod's files/patch-base-r353844 (those changes
already exist in the upstream source).

I believe it should also compile on FreeBSD 12.x, as I was using the same
version under that release, though I do not have a 12.x install to actually
test against anymore.  I also did a compile test against FreeBSD 13.1-RC3,
which was successful, but haven't updated this particular appliance to that
version yet.
