net: bridge: mst: Support setting and reporting MST port states



Make it possible to change the port state in a given MSTI by extending
the bridge port netlink interface (RTM_SETLINK on PF_BRIDGE).The
proposed iproute2 interface would be:

    bridge mst set dev <PORT> msti <MSTI> state <STATE>

Current states in all applicable MSTIs can also be dumped via a
corresponding RTM_GETLINK. The proposed iproute interface looks like
this:

$ bridge mst
port              msti
vb1               0
		    state forwarding
		  100
		    state disabled
vb2               0
		    state forwarding
		  100
		    state forwarding

The preexisting per-VLAN states are still valid in the MST
mode (although they are read-only), and can be queried as usual if one
is interested in knowing a particular VLAN's state without having to
care about the VID to MSTI mapping (in this example VLAN 20 and 30 are
bound to MSTI 100):

$ bridge -d vlan
port              vlan-id
vb1               10
		    state forwarding mcast_router 1
		  20
		    state disabled mcast_router 1
		  30
		    state disabled mcast_router 1
		  40
		    state forwarding mcast_router 1
vb2               10
		    state forwarding mcast_router 1
		  20
		    state forwarding mcast_router 1
		  30
		    state forwarding mcast_router 1
		  40
		    state forwarding mcast_router 1
