net: introduce generic switch devices support

The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch
chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is
only one ndo defined:
- for getting physical switch id is in place.

Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.
