Added stubs for logical #interface #status and #stacking handling in
ethernet module. This control the operations of logical interfaces of
type #ethernet , #VLAN , #ILAN and #virtual-bridge . Status handler will
control the operations on an interface status change as in OPER
UP/DOWN/TESTING etc ... On stacking of a higher layer entity similar
operations are performed by stacking handler.

[commit 17f15855bd2aa8d55b86da7efb1da1360f50f83a]
The logical interface types comes in handy for different use-cases. e.g. The type ethernet represents all of the physical ethernet ports in the system. The type VLAN is useful for cases as in inter-VLAN routing of IP traffic. The interfaces of type ILAN and virtual-bridge are used for interconnecting ethernet components.
