[c-nsp] Upgrade NPE-400 to NPE-G1

[Rob Seastrom]

Having recently done this (and moved to IOS15 at the same time), I
encourage you to find a spare chassis somewhere and hot-stage the
config.  Then when you go to make the upgrade it's just a matter of
swapping the NPEs and pulling out the old IO controller and you're done.
