[f-nsp] FlexLink functionality for FastIrons

[Robert Hass]

I have transparent bridges (fw) without spt and the problem is not
with switches redundancy where we already can use mct like solutions
(two fcx stacked or cat3750). But as our l2 fw doesn't support spt
then flexlink/protected-links-group is only way to have redundancy.
Udld is not supported on these firewalls, only lacp.
