            Bug ID: 293228
           Summary: jail(8): In-use IPs from can be removed from host
                    interfaces
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: nick@spun.io

When shutting down a non-vnet jail, jail(8) currently reads the jail's IP
address from a jail configuration file and calls ifconfig to remove the IP from
the host interface.

This breaks other non-vnet jails also using the same IP at the time.

This PR modifies jail(8) so it looks at all running jails before deciding to
remove an IP address from a host interface.

It also has some helper functions to deal with the fact that the kernel returns
an address in the format `em0|192.168.0.1/32` while jail(8) only has a bare IP
from a jail configuration file

(and FWIW, currently jail(8) does not detach interface addresses _at all_ if
not passed a configuration file)

Tracking more state in the kernel would probably be better long-term, but for
now this eliminates unexpected behavior.
