[lldp] Add support for the Link Layer Discovery Protocol
Add support for recording LLDP packets and exposing TLV values via the
settings mechanism. LLDP settings are encoded as
${netX.lldp/<prefix>.<type>.<index>.<offset>.<length>}
where
<type> is the TLV type
<offset> is the starting offset within the TLV value
<length> is the length (or zero to read the from <offset> to the end)
<prefix>, if it has a non-zero value, is the subtype byte string of
length <offset> to match at the start of the TLV value, up to a
maximum matched length of 4 bytes
<index> is the index of the entry matching <type> and <prefix> to be
accessed, with zero indicating the first matching entry
The <prefix> is designed to accommodate both matching of the OUI
within an organization-specific TLV (e.g. 0x0080c2 for IEEE 802.1
TLVs) and of a subtype byte as found within many TLVs.
This encoding allows most LLDP values to be extracted easily. For
example
System name: ${netX.lldp/5.0.0.0:string}
System description: ${netX.lldp/6.0.0.0:string}
Port description: ${netX.lldp/4.0.0.0:string}
Port interface name: ${netX.lldp/5.2.0.1.0:string}
Chassis MAC address: ${netX.lldp/4.1.0.1.0:hex}
Management IPv4 address: ${netX.lldp/5.1.8.0.2.4:ipv4}
Port VLAN ID: ${netX.lldp/0x0080c2.1.127.0.4.2:int16}
Port VLAN name: ${netX.lldp/0x0080c2.3.127.0.7.0:string}
Maximum frame size: ${netX.lldp/0x00120f.4.127.0.4.2:uint16}
