When changing DCB parameters, ixgbe needs to have the MAC reset. The way
the flow control code is setup today, PFC will be disabled on a reset.
This patch adds a new flow control type for PFC, and then has the netlink
layer take care of toggling which type of flow control to enable.

'pap' is never used in ixgbe_dcb_hw_config_82599()
and 'eec' in ixgbe_acquire_eeptom() is only used when
status == 0 but GCC has some trouble seeing that.

This patch adds the DCB (Data Center Bridging) support for 82599 hardware.
This is similar to how the 82598 DCB code works.
This patch also removes the BCN (Backwards Congestion Notification) netlink
configuration code from the driver. BCN was a pre-standard congestion
notification framework, and was not what the IEEE body decided upon for
standard congestion management. QCN (802.1Qau), Quantized Congestion
Notification is the accepted standard, which is not supported by 82599,
hence we remove the support altogether.
