Configure PVSTP and PVRSTP

Per VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (PVRSTP) is similar to Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP) as defined by IEEE 802.1w but with one main difference: PVRSTP runs one
instance per VLAN. That is, each configured VLAN runs an independent instance of PVRSTP
and each instance elects a root bridge independent of another instance. A region can include
as many root bridges as there are VLANs that are configured for PVRSTP. PVRSTP is
equivalent to Cisco's RPVST+ and can interoperate with it.
