Ethernet network interfaces may have more than one front-facing port.
The phy_port infrastructure was introduced to keep track of
these ports, and allow userspace to know about the presence and
capability of these ports. Add a ethnl netlink message to report this
information.

+PORT_GET
+========
+
+Retrieve information about the physical connection points of a network device,
+referred to as "ports". User needs to specify a PORT_ID for the DO operation,
+in which case the DO request returns information about that specific port.
+
+As there can be more than one port, the DUMP operation can be used to list the
+ports present on a given interface, by passing an interface index or name in
+the dump request.
