[j-nsp] EX2200 LLDP Port Info

[Luca Salvatore]

We have submitted a feature request with juniper for this very issue.
It has changed to reporting the description in more recent versions, as
well as on QFX devices.
Reporting the interface description is pretty useless, i'd much rather see
the interface name.
