gif.4: Mention that gif(4) can tunnel Ethernet traffic
Ideally this manpage shall have examples for the EtherIP setup, but
there has been one in if_bridge(4) since the introduction of EtherIP [1],
so direct the setup to if_bridge(4) at this moment.
While here, add RFC 3378 to the reference section.
