netdev: Add netdev_get_speed() to netdev API.

Browse Source 
Currently, the netdev's speed is being calculated by taking the link's
feature bits (using netdev_get_features()) and transforming them into
bps.

This mechanism can be both inaccurate and difficult to maintain, mainly
because we currently use the feature bits supported by OpenFlow which
would have to be extended to support all new feature bits of all netdev
implementations while keeping the OpenFlow API intact.

In order to expose the link speed accurately for all current and future
hardware, add a new netdev API call that allows the implementations to
provide the current and maximum link speeds in Mbps.

Internally, the logic to get the maximum supported speed still relies on
feature bits so it might still get out of sync in the future. However,
the maximum configurable speed is not used as much as the current speed
and these feature bits are not exposed through the netdev interface so
it should be easier to add more.

Use this new function instead of netdev_get_features() where the link
speed is needed.

As a consequence of this patch, link speeds of cards is properly
reported (internally in OVSDB) even if not supported by OpenFlow.
A test verifies this behavior using a tap device.

Also, in order to avoid using the old, this patch adds a checkpatch.py
warning if the old API is used.
