bridge: add support for user mode STP

This patchset based on work by Aji_Srinivas@emc.com provides allows
spanning tree to be controled from userspace.  Like hotplug, it
uses call_usermodehelper when spanning tree is enabled so there
is no visible API change. If call to start usermode STP fails
it falls back to existing kernel STP.
