Add support for the bridge fdb replace command to replace an
existing entry in the vxlan device driver forwarding data base.
The entry is identified with its unicast mac address and its
corresponding remote destination information is updated.
This is useful for virtual machine migration and replaces the
bridge fdb del and bridge fdb add commands.
It follows the same interface as ip neigh replace commands.

The bridge fdb command line help and the bridge.8
man page are outdated in regards to the vxlan support.
The patch updates both the command line help for the
bridge command and its man page.

This patch allows setting the "NTF_ROUTER" flag in VXLAN forwarding table
entries to enable L3 switching for router destinations while still allowing
L2 redirection appliances for non-router MAC destinations.

iproute2 patch to generalize VXLAN forwarding tables
This is the iproute2 support allowing an administrator to specify alternate
ports, vnis and outgoing interfaces for VXLAN device forwarding tables.
Changes since v3: changed NDA_PORT to be 16-bit network byte order to match
changed byte-order/size in the VXLAN driver.

Replace and change are not supported by bridge netlink so remove it
from bridge tool options.

Add command to update and print FDB entries with NTF_SELF and
NTF_MASTER set.
Example usages illustrating use of 'self' to program embedded
forwarding table and 'master' to configure the forwarding table
of the bridge. Also shows 'master self' used to update both in
the same command.

The bridge command used to be called br but was renamed bridge. Correct
the outdated references to the br name in the help messages, together with a
typo of '-help' for 'help'.
