Since netmap on ixl still has issues on OPNsense 20.1, we decided to wait for 20.7 for further testing and analysis.
Out of the box more hardware support seems to be enabled for vlan's, which doesn't play nice with netmap (leading to loss of data).

Since netmap requires hardware support to be disabled, we should disable all hardware switches for proper functionality.
change "disablevlanhwfilter" to disabled in our default configuration, the "leave default" option was originally added for other ix[l] stability issues when changing the option. (2fc3baa)
when disablevlanhwfilter equals 1, make sure vlanhwcsum, vlanhwfilter, vlanhwtso, vlanhwtag are all disabled (doesn't seem to be the case now)
set hw.ixl.enable_head_writeback defaults to 0.
