This patch adds support for the new backup port option that can be set
on a bridge port. If the port's carrier goes down all of the traffic
gets redirected to the configured backup port. We add the following new
arguments:
$ ip link set dev brport type bridge_slave backup_port brport2
$ ip link set dev brport type bridge_slave nobackup_port
$ bridge link set dev brport backup_port brport2
$ bridge link set dev brport nobackup_port
The man pages are updated respectively.
Also 2 minor style adjustments:
- add missing space to bridge man page's state argument
- use lower starting case for vlan_tunnel in ip-link man page (to be
consistent with the rest)
