Description
At some point we will want to be able to meet the constraint that a single/dual-stack port without, e.g., an Internet Gateway will consume no IP pool resources whatsoever. We should ensure that a port can begin in, and be safely reconfigured into, such a state and that xde will consider it valid.

Research direction
The issue names Oxide-VPC ports and xde but no files or tests. Start by tracing port configuration and xde validation, then exercise a single- or dual-stack port with no external IP at creation and after reconfiguration. Done means both states are accepted and consume no IP pool resources.
