#11963: ipro1000 wapper recognizes fewer PCI IDs than are supported

--------------------------------------+------------------------------
The ipro1000 driver wrapper `driver.c` only recgonizes a small subset of
the PCI IDs that are listed as supported by the underlying FreeBSD driver
(the list in `e1000_hw.h` ) and also doesn't provide an "escape hatch"
based on a setting in the driver config file.

It'd be good if the ipro1000 driver could provide an escape hatch
mechanism via its config file, so testing the driver with a new card
didn't require rebuilding it. It'd also be great if it listed support for
all of the devices in `e1000_hw.h` of course.

(My ulterior motive here is to get networking up & running on my Asus
Z97-PRO, which has an Intel I218-V, which should be supported by this
driver.)
