[BRIDGE]: linkstate handling
This makes bridge port status reflect both the state of the interface
from software (up/down) and the carrier. It makes STP handle link failure
(cable breakage, etc). The original concept comes from a
Mark Ruijter <bridge@siennax.com> who implemented it differently.
My way is simpler and requires no polling.
Obviously, this link state detection will only work if the network card
handles the events properly.
