The code should require that one of these is set when BMCA == noop.

How about this?  Leave slaveOnly global.  When BMCA == noop then check
port option masterOnly, then global slaveOnly, else fail.

Later on, a bridge that has both port types can set slaveOnly as the
global default and configure masterOnly per port as needed.
