lacp: New "lacp-heartbeat" mode.

This commit creates a new heartbeat mode for LACP.  This mode
treats LACP as a protocol simply for monitoring link status.  It
strips out most of the sanity checks built into the protocol.
Addition of this mode makes "lacp-force-aggregatable" and
"lacp-strict" options obsolete so they are removed.
