4ceec22d6d switchdev: bring documentation up-to-date
Much need updated of switchdev documentation to cover what's been
implmented to-date.  There are some XXX comments in the text for
unimplemented or broken items.  I'd like to keep these in there (poor-man's
TODO list) and update the document once each issue is resolved.

The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch
chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is
only one ndo defined:
- for getting physical switch id is in place.

Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.
