networking.v2.Port: Missing pointer on PropagateUplinkStatus

What happened?

The PropagateUplinkStatus is a field that is activated when uplink_status_propagation extension is enabled on Neutron's side. That field has a missing pointer in the Port result struct, which may cause a inconsistent behavior: if the extension is not enabled, Gophercloud will return false as the field value anyway.

We can not fix this without introducing a breaking change, so my suggestion is to move the PropagateUplinkStatus to a separated extension instead of just adding the missing pointer.

Version

v2 (current)

I guess we need to introduce a new extension like it's done with portsecurity. As a workaround, existing v2 client can implement something like:

type MyPortExt struct {
        PropagateUplinkStatusPtr *bool `json:"propagate_uplink_status"`
}

var s struct {
        ports.Port
        MyPortExt
}

err := ports.Get(ctx, client, portID).ExtractInto(&s)
... ... ...

if s.PropagateUplinkStatusPtr != nil {
... ... ...

That's actually a nice workaround, I hadn't thought of it. Thanks @kayrus for the hint.

@kayrus Thanks for the hint, this must work.
