IF update - 13: updating logical interface status handler

Updated the #logical-interface #hierarchical #status #handling routines in IF module. The #status #change #handler routines has been #upgraded for the new data-structure changes. The hierarchical status handler #propagate s the interface #status #from the #lower interface #layer s #to the #higher #layer s. The interface #stacking enables the interface status to be decided based on the lower layer component interfaces. The interface status will depend on it's own #ADMIN-STATUS, #interface-type dependent #procedure s and #lower layer #interface #OPER-STATUS.

LACP update - 9: LACP incoming PDU receive

Created a #message #queue in LACP module for #handling #LACP #PDU s. This will enable #HAL module to #trap the #LACP #PDU s from #ports and pass them over to #LACP module as messages for processing. The message library APIs for sending and receiving the messages are used for this purpose. The thread APIs are used to create a #waiting #message #loop in LACP module.
