net: introduce generic switch devices support

The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch
chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is
only one ndo defined:
- for getting physical switch id is in place.

Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.

+	  meaning of the word "switch". This include devices supporting L2/L3 but
+	  also various flow offloading chips, including switches embedded into
