[j-nsp] EX3300/4300 Switch MPLS CCC Support

[Tim Jackson]

Licenses for stupid SW features are total BS, here's to hoping that Juniper
figures this out. Probably not though.

If I missed that, sorry..

>From what I know, MPLS on new EX is unlikely to happen (even though I
really really really want it). ACX is where MPLS on Broadcom based products
is going to happen (outside of the generous MPLS featureset available on
QFX today).
