Port-type is align with the name of typec coding and ABI, 'power-role'
is more like for the current role rather than the port's ability.

I don't know how much this squash can benefit, "dual-source/sink" is not
directly showing its meaning by name.

Sorry, with latest tcpm code, those props are not required, will remove them.
