[Bridge] Support for long interface names

[Bridge] Support for long interface names

Hi,
I've added support for long bridge interface names (such as"br-
0081a64f416f") to "brctl show" (long physical interface names arenot a
problem there).
Please find a branch with the commit at 
https://github.com/MarcelWaldvogel/bridge-utils/tree/long-ifnames

Thanks but I have no plans to add any new features to bridge-utils.
Just like ifconfig, users should migrate to the new bridge command
in iproute2.
