[PATCH v2] ixgbe: Treat 1G Cu SFPs as 1G SX for X550EM

[Jeff Daly]

X550EM NICs do not support 1G Cu SFPs by default from Intel, this patch
enables treating these SFPs as 1G SX SFPs via a module parameter similar to
the parameter that allows the driver to be able to recognize unsupported
(by Intel) SFPs.

v2:
* Make module_param option a boolean, fix commit message.

The addition of new module parameters is no longer allowed.

Thanks,
