The 'dev' argument is only optional for ethX devices, for others it is
mandatory, so we should always include it.
Also tweak when promisc mode is applied to bridges.

The program function in depend blocks is now able to search paths by
itself. If passed multiple arguments or multiple calls, at least one of
the arguments passed must be a program or a shell builtin (eg ip built
into busybox). If a qualified path is specified, only that path will be
checked, otherwise it will be checked as a builtin, then $PATH will be
checked for the named binary (via type).

Specifically document how to handle the case of explicitly starting a
bridge and then dynamically adding interfaces to it.
brctl_br0=''
bridge_add_eth0='br0'
- Use sysfs to read bridge information from the system instead of
parsing the brctl outputs.
- Allow setting of all bridge configuration parameters using new sysfs
methods, modelled after bonding configuration. Also works for per-port
bridge interface parameters.
- Document pre-starting an empty bridge for dynamic add.
- Check for interface existence before adding to bridge.
- Should fix bug #293046, #309185.
