When this functionality was moved to libifconfig in 3dfbda3401,
the end of list calculation was modified for unknown reasons, practically
limiting the number of bridge member returned to (about) 102.
This patch changes the calculation back to what it was originally and
adds a unit test to verify it works as expected.

The new function operates similarly to ifconfig_lagg_get_lagg_status and
likewise is accompanied by a function to free the bridge status data structure.
I have included in this patch the relocation of some strings describing STP
parameters and the PV2ID macro from ifconfig into net/if_bridgevar.h as they
are useful for consumers of libifconfig.
