Add support for reading i2c SFP/SFP+ data from NIC driver and
presenting most interesting fields via ifconfig -v.
This version supports Intel ixgbe driver only.

Tested on:      Cisco,Intel,Mellanox,ModuleTech,Molex transceivers

* Add new net/sff8436.h containing constants used to access
  QSFP+ data via i2c inteface. These constants has been taken
  from SFF-8436 "QSFP+ 10 Gbs 4X PLUGGABLE TRANSCEIVER" standard
  rev 4.8.
* Add support for printing QSFP+ information from 40G NICs
  such as Chelsio T5.
