Description
We need to expose information in the Nexus operator API about the front IO transceivers. This should use the Dendrite API for the same (tracked in https://github.com/oxidecomputer/dendrite/issues/42). For the MVP, this should include:
- Transceiver presence
- Power state (off / low / high, probably), and the ability to control the power state.
- Identity (only available if powered)
- Basic monitoring information, such as Tx / Rx power and case temperature.

Research direction
Begin with the Nexus operator API and Dendrite issue #42, which tracks the corresponding transceiver API. Define and implement the MVP surface for presence, controllable power state, powered identity, and basic Tx/Rx power and case-temperature monitoring, then verify those operations against the available Dendrite behavior.
