Non-git-master versions of lldpad refuse to touch a device that doesn't
have a carrier. And when enabling/disabling DCB, the kernel driver will
reconfigure itself and may turn carrier off for a few seconds. So we
must ensure that before enabling/disabling DCB, the carrier is already
on. Next we must ensure that *after* enabling/disabling DCB, the
carrier is back on before doing further DCB setup.
There's a race condition between enabling/disabling DCB and receiving
the carrier event in NetworkManager that has to be handled carefully.
Because the carrier may not yet be down after the dcbtool call to
enable/disable DCB returns, we need to wait for a couple seconds for
the carrier to go down, and then again for it to come back up.
Otherwise we might see the still-on carrier, proceed with DCB setup,
and the carrier finally goes down halfway through the setup, which
will fail the operations with "DCB not enabled, link down, or DCB
not supported" errors from lldpad.

Also now log error output of failed commands instead of only when
debug logging is enabled.
First, lldpad doesn't support disabling priority groups (e:0)
without specifying a complete priority group config (which wouldn't
be used anyway, since you're turning it off!). While this bug is
being fixed upstream, we'll just ignore errors turning off
PG, since if you're using DCB on an interface, you probably want
to use it all the time.
Second, lldpad really wants all PG options on the same configuration
line, not split apart, because it validates the complete package
of options before applying them, regardless of whether or not they
are given in the same command. Since NM was just emitting all the
options in separate dcbtool invocations anyway, just combine them
all into a single invocation.
