switchdev: Add support for flood control

Allow devices supporting this feature to control the flooding of unknown
unicast traffic, by making switchdev infrastructure propagate this setting
to the switch driver.

 flooding packets that software.
 
+If supported by the device, flood control can be offloaded to it, preventing
+certain netdevs from flooding unicast traffic for which there is no FDB entry.
