When creating a bond, we first use a netlink call, if that
call fails we try to create and setup the bond via sysfs.
If the bond name is longer than 15 chars the netlink call
will fail, we will then enter the sysfs path which creates
the bond by writing to /sys/class/net/bonding_masters. In
this case the bonding driver will simply truncate the bond
name to fit into the 15 chars limit.

ES bonds have the same "init state" requirements as CLAG bonds -
1. A bond needs to be designated as an "es-bond" for this purpose.
For clag-bonds we used "clag-id" attr (to designate a bond as a "clag-bond").
For ES bonds we will use "es-sys-mac" attr.
2. Slaves added to an "ES bond" must have protodown-on.
This is again similar to CLAG bonds
3. And vice-versa i.e. when a slave is removed from an "es-bond",
protodown-on must be cleared.
4. When es-sys-mac is first set on a bond, all the bond-slaves must be
placed in "protodown-on" state. This is needed whether FRR is running at that point or not.

This is a major update coming all at once from master-next branch
master-next branch was started with --orphan option which is basically a new
branch without history.
The major changes are:
- repackaging
- cleanup the directory tree
- rewritte setup.py to allow install from deb file or pypi (pip install)
- add a Makefile to make things (like building a deb) easier
- review all debian files
