Nikolay Aleksandrov d13d52d0d5 bridge: add support for backup port
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)

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
