[c-nsp] Trunked VLANs over FTTC VDSL2

I'm actually testing this as we speak. Not with BT but it doesn't really 
matter.

See below for the config that should theoretically work, in reality it 
does not. The packets are correctly double tagged in LAN>VDSL direction 
but in VDSL>LAN direction packets are lost after they reach Vlan100 
interface (by looking at packet counters). This is probably because 
Vlan100 interface is not really expecting packets with dot1Q ethertype.

I haven't opened the case with Cisco yet but I don't have high hopes. 
Having dot1q-tunnel on this platform is most likely mistake.

Do you know any other devices/vendors that could theoretically do this? 
I only know about RAD ETX-2i at this point.
