Please note the following change. trunk was only in HEAD for a week so
the few people who tried it out already need to be aware of the name
change.

Log:
Rename the trunk(4) driver to lagg(4) as it is too similar to vlan trunking.

The name trunk is misused as the networking term trunk means carrying multiple
VLANs over a single connection. The IEEE standard for link aggregation (802.3
section 3) does not talk about 'trunk' at all while it is used throughout IEEE
802.1Q in describing vlans.

The lagg(4) driver provides link aggregation, failover and fault tolerance.
