Bond: Monitor bond mii_status not link operstate (#1124)

With a bond interface the state of the slave interface from the bond's
point of view is reflected in `mii_status` and is independent of the
link's `operstate`.

When a bond is monitored with `miimon`, `mii_status` will reflect the
state of the physical link as configured via the operator.

When a bond is monitored via `arp_interval` the `mii_status` will
reflect the results of the bond ARP checking.  This means the link can
be down from the bond's point of view, but up from a physical
connection point of view.

If a bond is not monitored via miimon or arp, the `mii_status` should
likely be always `up`, however I have observed a case where this is not
true and the `operstate` is `up` while `mii_status` is `down`.  Kernel
bond documentation stresses that a bond should not be configured without
one of `mii_mon` or `arp_interval` configured however.

This change results in the metric 'node_bonding_active' matching the
up/down state of the bond's point of view rather than operstate.
