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.
