#17551: net/pfvar.h is not properly detected on OpenBSD
-------------------------+-----------------

-------------------------+-----------------
 The autoconf test for net/pfvar.h is missing a header to have the test
 successfully detect it:

 {{{
     configure:9992: checking for net/pfvar.h
     configure:9992: gcc -std=gnu99 -c -g -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-

     In file included from conftest.c:111:

     configure:9992: $? = 1
     configure: failed program was:
     ...
 }}}

 It needs netinet/in.h

 This is not problem for the port/package as the OpenBSD ports tree
 infrastructure pre-defines a bunch of variables for headers that it knows
 exist, including $ac_cv_header_net_pfvar_h, so autoconf uses the cached
 result there, however it's a problem if manually building from source and
 not from ports.

 As a bonus, the `OPENBSD` pre-processor macro is only defined if
 transparent proxy support is enabled, which it isn't when net/pfvar.h
 can't be detected (the malloc.h warnings was what made me look into this
 :-) )
