    pf: change pf_route so pf only runs when packets enter and leave the stack.
    
    before this change pf_route operated on the semantic that pf runs
    when packets go over an interface, so when pf_route changed which
    interface the packet was on it would run pf_test again. this change
    changes (restores) the semantic that pf is only supposed to run
    when packets go in or out of the network stack, even if route-to
    is responsibly for short circuiting past the network stack.
    
    just to be clear, for normal packets (ie, those not touched by
    route-to/reply-to/dup-to), there isn't a difference between running
    pf when packets enter or leave the stack, or having pf run when a
    packet goes over an interface.
    
    the main reason for this change is that running the same packet
    through pf multiple times creates confusion for the state table.
    by default, pf states are floating, meaning that packets are matched
    to states regardless of which interface they're going over. if a
    packet leaving on em0 is rerouted out em1, both traversals will end
    up using the same state, which at best will make the accounting
    look weird, or at worst fail some checks in the state and get
    dropped.
    
    another reason for this commit is is to make handling of the changes
    that route-to makes consistent with other changes that are made to
    packet. eg, when nat is applied to a packet, we don't run pf_test
    again with the new addresses.
    
    the main caveat with this diff is you can't have one rule that
    pushes a packet out a different interface, and then have a rule on
    that second interface that NATs the packet. i'm not convinced this
    ever worked reliably or was used much anyway, so we don't think
    it's a big concern.
    
    discussed with many, with special thanks to bluhm@, sashan@ and
    sthen@ for weathering most of that pain.
