Bring in support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1w).
RSTP provides faster spanning tree convergence, the protocol will exchange
information with neighboring switches to quickly transition to forwarding
without creating loops. The code will default to RSTP mode but will downgrade
any port connected to a legacy STP network so is fully backward compatible.
