qeth: Support VEPA mode
The existing port isolation mode 'forward' will now verify that the adjacent switch port supports the required reflective relay (RR) mode. This patch adds the required error handling for the cases where enabling port isolation mode 'forward' can now fail. Furthermore, once established, we never fall back from one of the port isolation modes to a non-isolated mode without further user-interaction. This includes cases where the isolation mode was enabled successfully, but ceases to work e.g. due to configuration changes at the switch port. Finally, configuring an isolation mode with the device being offline will make onlining the device fail permanently upon errors encountered until either errors are resolved or the isolation mode is changed by the user to a different mode.
