This preserves the existing IFLA_DSA_MASTER which is part of the uAPI
and creates an alias named IFLA_DSA_CONDUIT.

Use more inclusive terms throughout the DSA subsystem by moving away
from "master" which is replaced by "conduit" and "slave" which is
replaced by "user". No functional changes.

DSA now supports multiple CPU ports, explain the use cases that are
covered, the new UAPI, the permitted degrees of freedom, the driver API,
and remove some old "hanging fruits".

We want to add reference counting for FDB entries in cross-chip
topologies, and in order for that to have any chance of working and not
be unbalanced (leading to entries which are never deleted), we need to
ensure that higher layers are sane, because if they aren't, it's garbage
in, garbage out.
For example, if we add a bridge FDB entry twice, the bridge properly
errors out:
$ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:07 master static
$ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:07 master static
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
However, the same thing cannot be said about the bridge bypass
operations:
$ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:07
$ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:07
$ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:07
$ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:07
$ echo $?
0
But one 'bridge fdb del' is enough to remove the entry, no matter how
many times it was added.
The bridge bypass operations are impossible to maintain in these
circumstances and lack of support for reference counting the cross-chip
notifiers is holding us back from making further progress, so just drop
support for them. The only way left for users to install static bridge
FDB entries is the proper one, using the "master static" flags.
With this change, rtnl_fdb_add() falls back to calling
ndo_dflt_fdb_add() which uses the duplicate-exclusive variant of
dev_uc_add(): dev_uc_add_excl(). Because DSA does not (yet) declare
IFF_UNICAST_FLT, this results in us going to promiscuous mode:
$ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05
[ 28.206743] device swp0 entered promiscuous mode
$ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
So even if it does not completely fail, there is at least some indication
that it is behaving differently from before, and closer to user space
expectations, I would argue (the lack of a "local|static" specifier
defaults to "local", or "host-only", so dev_uc_add() is a reasonable
default implementation). If the generic implementation of .ndo_fdb_add
provided by Vlad Yasevich is a proof of anything, it only proves that
the implementation provided by DSA was always wrong, by not looking at
"ndm->ndm_state & NUD_NOARP" (the "static" flag which means that the FDB
entry points outwards) and "ndm->ndm_state & NUD_PERMANENT" (the "local"
flag which means that the FDB entry points towards the host). It all
used to mean the same thing to DSA.
Update the documentation so that the users are not confused about what's
going on.

"make htmldocs" complains:

configuration.rst:212: WARNING: duplicate label networking/dsa/configuration:bridge, other instance in (...)
configuration.rst:252: WARNING: duplicate label networking/dsa/configuration:gateway, other instance in (...)
And for good reason, because the "single port", "bridge" and "gateway"
use cases are replicated twice, once for normal taggers and twice for
DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE. So when trying to reference these sections via a
hyperlink such as:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/dsa/configuration.html#single-port
it will always reference the first occurrence, and never the second one.
This change makes the "single port", "bridge" and "gateway"
configuration examples consistent with the formatting used in the
"Configuration showcases" subsection.
