Summary: Drop-in replacement of the standalone brctl utility
Description:
Introduce ip-brctl shell script. This script wraps 'ip' and 'bridge' tools to provide a drop-in replacement of the standalone 'brctl' utility. It's bug-to-bug compatible with brctl as of bridge-utils version 1.6, has no dependencies other than a POSIX shell, and it's less than half the binary size of brctl on x86_64. As many users seem to find brctl usage vastly more intuitive than ip-link, possibly due to habit, this might be a lightweight approach to provide brctl syntax without the need to maintain bridge-utils any longer.
