nmcli: allow VxLan multicast and bridge port

[dev-zero]

VxLan virtual devices can be added to bridge ports, like any other devices. And when using multicast remote addresses, NetworkManager need to know the parent device as well.

SUMMARY

Adds a vxlan_parent attribute to nmcli to support multicast remote VxLan addresses.
Enables slave_type and master for vxlan types to permit adding the vxlan device to a bridge.

Thanks for your contribution! Can you please add a changelog fragment? Thanks.

@felixfontein done. Do you have any idea why the nmcli.py in the failing test runners is inconsistent?
I have vxlan_parent=dict(type="str") in the module spec in my patch, but looking at the code in the error unit test log this line seems to be missing, giving a KeyError when parsing the args in __init__

@felixfontein nevermind, found the culprit, a complete argument_spec replica in one of the unittests.

Keeping that replica is very wrong. Sigh. One way we'll remove it.

hi @dev-zero thanks for your contribution!

Other than the adjustment in the changelog fragment, it LGTM

I would make this one single line. And the formatting style needs adjusting.

Please refer to the standard formatting for the changelog fragments' entries:
