VHIDs are used in the failover process for interfaces using the CARP protocol. This patch adds support for getting the VHID of an interface address. Tested on FreeBSD 11.0 and FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT

$ sudo ifconfig epair create
$ sudo ifconfig epair0a 192.0.2.2/24 vhid 99
$ irb

require 'socket'
Socket.getifaddrs[11]
=> #<Socket::Ifaddr epair0a UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST 192.0.2.2 netmask=255.255.255.0 broadcast=192.0.2.255>
Socket.getifaddrs[11].vhid
=> 99

There was a copy/paste error in my transcript. It should've read

$ sudo ifconfig epair create
$ sudo ifconfig epair0a 192.0.2.2/24 vhid 99
$ irb
> require 'socket'
> Socket.getifaddrs[11]
=> #<Socket::Ifaddr epair0a UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST 192.0.2.2 netmask=255.255.255.0 broadcast=192.0.2.255>
> Socket.getifaddrs[11].vhid
=> 99

Although I don't tested, it seems fine except the document should use Integer instead of Fixnum.
