Allow the qdisc limit to be set, which is particularly useful when
the default VQ is not configured with RED parameters.

In the GRED kernel source code, both of the terms "drop parameters"
(DP) and "virtual queue" (VQ) are used to refer to the same thing.
Each "DP" is better understood as a "set of drop parameters", since
it has values for limit, min, max, avpkt, etc. This terminology can
result in confusion when creating a GRED qdisc having multiple DPs.
Netlink attributes and struct members with the DP name seem to have
been left intact for compatibility, while the term VQ was otherwise
adopted in the code, which is more intuitive.
Use the VQ term in the tc command syntax and output (but maintain
compatibility with the old syntax).
Rewrite the usage text to be concise and similar to other qdiscs.

DPs, def_DP, and DP are unsigned values that are sent and received
in TCA_GRED_* netlink attributes; handle them properly when they
are parsed or printed. Use MAX_DPs as the initial value for def_DP
and DP, and fix the operator used for bounds checking them.

Make the output more consistent with the RED qdisc, and only show
details/statistics if the appropriate flag is set when calling tc.
Show the parameters used with "gred setup". Add missing statistics
"pdrop" and "other". Fix format specifiers for unsigned values.

This is more helpful to the user, since the command takes two forms,
and the message that would otherwise appear about missing parameters
assumes one of those forms.

The "bandwidth" parameter is optional, but ensure the user is aware
of its default value, to proactively avoid configuration problems.

It is used when parsing three different parameters, only one of
which is Wlog. Change the name to make the code less confusing.

Documentation advises to set burst to (min+min+max)/(3*avpkt)
Let tc do this automatically if user doesnt provide burst himself.
