This patch adds support for configuring offload mode upon MACsec
device creation.
If offload mode is not specified, then netlink attribute is not
added. Default behavior on the kernel side in this case is
backward-compatible (offloading is disabled by default).
Example:
$ ip link add link eth0 macsec0 type macsec port 11 encrypt on offload mac

supports it.

The man page of ip-macsec and the existance of the tool makes it seem like
the user could just configure static keys once, and be done with it. That is
not the case. Some form or key management must be done in user space.
Add a note about that.

remove hardcoded base 10 parsing of 'port' parameter, update man page
and fix usage() functions as well. Fix misleading line in man page that
theoretically allowed specifying 'port' keyword right after 'sci' keyword.
Provide documentation of 'address' parameter in man pages and in usage()
functions as well.

since kernel driver has valid default values for 'cipher' and 'icvlen',
there is no need for requiring users to specify both of them when a new
link is added. Also, prompt an error message and exit with appropriate
exit status in case of unsupported cipher suite.
