Scott Emery a7322fd960 ifupdown2: Allow lacp parameters to be set on 802.3ad bonds
Ticket: CM-10437
Reviewed By: CCR-4480
Testing Done: Created a bond and made sure it's lacp_rate could be set fast or
slow wioth or without specifying the mode.

The current code assumes that for a bond to be in 802.3ad mode the "bond-mode"
parameter has to be specified in the list of bond attributes being set. Only
then will ifupdown2 allow the lacp_rate and lacp_bypass attributes to be set.
But since we have changed the default mode to be 802.3ad, the mode attribute no
longer needs to be specified for a bond to be in 802.3ad mode.

So, instead of doing a check for the configuration attributes to determine the
mode, the linkinfo cache is checked. And the cache is refreshed, just in case
the mode attribute has been specified and just previously been set. The order in
which the attributes are set is fixed for bonds, and the mode is always set
prior to the lacp_rate and lacp_bypass attributes.

Also, while testing this I noticed another assumption about the default value of
an attribute: min_links. A warning is displayed when min_links is not specified
or set to 0, and the mode is set to 802.3ad. Well, now that the default for
min_links is 1 it doesn't have to be specified, even if the mode is set to
802.3ad. So ifupdown2 checks the current state of min_links if it is not
specified as one of the attibutes. If it is 0, either by being specified as an
attribute or not being specified but having that value, and the mode is set to
802.3ad, a warning is displayed.

And there was this other little problem where if a bond already existed in the
linkcache it wouldn't be refreshed, even if the refresh=True parameter was
specified in the _bond_linkinfo_fill function.
