Test bridge commands to set veb, vepa modes to iproute2.

[root@jf-dev1-dcblab iproute2]# ./bridge/bridge bridge show
eth2: mode VEB bridge_flags: self
eth3: mode VEPA bridge_flags: self
eth10: mode VEB bridge_flags: self
eth12: mode VEB bridge_flags: self

[root@jf-dev1-dcblab iproute2]# ./bridge/bridge bridge state mode veb dev eth3 self
bridge_mode_set eth3: type 19 family 7 mode VEB flags 0002

[root@jf-dev1-dcblab iproute2]# ./bridge/bridge bridge show
eth2: mode VEB bridge_flags: self
eth3: mode VEB bridge_flags: self
eth10: mode VEB bridge_flags: self
eth12: mode VEB bridge_flags: self

Maybe the final patch should separate protocol (STP) configuraiton
from the bridge setup (VEB.VEPA). But this is good for testing in
the meantime.

v2: remove a lot of the crazy cruft in the last patch

This looks ok. I will roll it into the resubmit of bridge changes
when I get back from Linuxcon.

Sounds good thanks. I'll test what you come up with when I see
it.
