MSTP Default Path Cost Controls

Summary: 802.1D and 802.1t specify different default path-cost values (based on interface speed).
These are used if the user hasn't configured a "custom" path-cost for the interface. The default of this
toggle is to use 802.1t values. The reason one might set this control to 802.1D would be for better
interoperability with legacy 802.1D STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) bridges.
To support legacy STP bridges, the following commands (options) have been added to CLI:
spanning-tree legacy-path-cost - Use 802.1D values for default path-cost
no spanning-tree legacy-path-cost - Use 802.1t values for default path-cost (default setting)
