[c-nsp] Copper SFP with ME3600X

[Tóth András]

According to the transceiver matrix, GLC-T is not supported in ASR1k, only
the SFP-GE-T. If you meant that, still you might either need "speed 1000"
or if that's not supported, it might not work in SFP+ ports which is the
case for ME3600X (also confirmed by the matrix pdf).
