tap(4): allow full-duplex and non-zero speed

Description

tap(4): allow full-duplex and non-zero speed

tap(4) devices advertise themselves as just 'ethernet autoselect',
without duplex or speed capabilities.
This advertisement makes them unable to be aggregated into lacp-based
lagg(4):

  • lacp code requires underlying interfaces to be full-duplex, else interface will not participate in lacp at all
  • lacp code requires underlying interface to have non-zero speed, else this interface can not be selected as active aggregator
