bridge: allow creating/deleting fdb entries via netlink
Use RTM_NEWNEIGH and RTM_DELNEIGH to allow updating of entries
in bridge forwarding table. This allows manipulating static entries
which is not possible with existing tools.
Example (using bridge extensions to iproute2)
# br fdb add 00:02:03:04:05:06 dev eth0
