[c-nsp] 3750 stack

[Bøvre Jon Harald]

Priority 15 is the important part.

Cannot remember details, but first switch numbered 9 became a standard when merging two stacks long time ago.
With all switches at default priority highest numbered switch will be master. 
To avoid having to do this with scheduled downtime this configuring master at switch9/priority15 just makes this even more safe

I'm intrigued by the first switch being numbered 9 - why not just numbered
1 and go up incrementally?  obviously 'priority 15' is important... just wondering
what wierd little thing I missed...
