Assume the link to be dead if bit error rate (BER) parameter is set to 1.

Description

Assume the link to be dead if bit error rate (BER) parameter is set to 1.
When a transition from link alive to link dead configuration or vice
versa occurs, notify any upstream and / or downstream peers using
NGM_FLOW messagges.

Link state notification using NGM_FLOW messages is modelled around
around already existing code in ng_ether.c.
