bond: packet drops on VPP bond interface [VPP-1544]

We register callback for VNET_HW_INTERFACE_LINK_UP_DOWN_FUNCTION and
VNET_SW_INTERFACE_ADMIN_UP_DOWN_FUNCTION to add and remove the slave
interface from the bond interface accordingly. For static bonding without
lacp, one would think that it is good enough to put the slave interface into
the ective slave set as soon as it is configured. Wrong, sometimes the slave
interface is configured to be part of the bonding without ever bringing up the
hardware carrier or setting the admin state to up. In that case, we send
traffic to the "dead" slave interface.

The fix is to make sure both the carrier and admin state are up before we put
the slave into the active set for forwarding traffic.
