These patches add support for VLAN interfaces, both toplevel and enslaved
to a bridge.

As previously discussed, VLAN interfaces only reference the underlying
device, so that a brde br0 with a VLAN interface eth0.42 enslaved looks
like

  <interface type="bridge" startmode="onboot">
    <name>br0</name>
    <protocol family="ipv4">
      <dhcp/>
    </protocol>
    <bridge stp="off">
      <interface type="vlan" device="eth0" vlan="42"/>
    </bridge>
  </interface>

Differing from other types of interfaces, the <name/> subtag is optional
for VLAN's since it can be derived from the name of the underlying device
and the  VLAN tag.
