MacSEC can now be offloaded to specialized hardware devices. Offloading
is off by default when creating a new MACsec interface, but the mode can
be updated at runtime. This patch adds a new subcommand,
`ip macsec offload`, to allow users to select the offloading mode of a
MACsec interface. It takes the mode to switch to as an argument, which
can for now either be 'off' or 'phy':

  # ip macsec offload macsec0 phy
  # ip macsec offload macsec0 off

seems like this should fall under 'ip macsec set ...'

Sabrina: thoughts?

The difference is that the other "set" commands also have an
"add"/"del" counterpart. "offload" would only have "set", so that
would be a bit inconsistent. Either way seems acceptable.

Another possibility is to see offloading as a property of the macsec
interface. Then it could be set on creation (ip link add ... type
macsec offload phy), or modified by link change, like other
device-wide properties (say, icvlen). But then I guess the netlink API
would need to be different... In that case, the "offload: X" line of
the output should also be integrated with the other device properties
(icvlen etc).
