net: Add support for capturing VLANs (Jan Kiszka)

This patch is derived from Tristan Gingold's patch. It adds a new VLAN
client type that writes all traffic on the VLAN it is attached to into a
pcap file. Such a file can then be analyzed offline with Wireshark or
tcpdump.

Besides rebasing and some minor cleanups, the major differences to the
original version are:
 - support for enabling/disabling via the monitor (host_net_add/remove)
 - no special ordering of VLAN client list, qemu_send_packet now takes
   care of properly ordered packets
 - 64k default capturing limit (I hate tcpdump's default)

@item -net dump[,vlan=@var{n}][,file=@var{file}][,len=@var{len}]
Dump network traffic on VLAN @var{n} to file @var{file} (@file{qemu-vlan0.pcap} by default).
At most @var{len} bytes (64k by default) per packet are stored. The file format is
libpcap, so it can be analyzed with tools such as tcpdump or Wireshark.
@item -net none
Indicate that no network devices should be configured. It is used to
override the default configuration (@option{-net nic -net user}) which
