This makes a few changes to allow ifname to be specified when using
qemu-bridge-helper with both the bridge and tap network interfaces. It adds
the --ifname option to qemu-bridge-helper, removes the restriction that ifname
cannot be specified with helper for the tap interface, and adds logic to
specify the --ifname option when exec'ing the helper.

This feature was originally requested by Mario De Chenno on the qemu-devel
mailing list. Seems pretty simple and figured it was something I could throw
together pretty quickly. I have tested the following combinations of invoking
qemu (where qbr is qemu-bridge-helper)
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net tap,helper="qbr --br=test1"
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net tap,helper="qbr --br=test1",ifname=vm1
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net tap,helper=qbr
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net tap,helper=qbr,ifname=vm1
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net bridge,helper=qbr
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net bridge,helper=qbr,ifname=vm1
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net bridge,helper=qbr,ifname=vm1,br=test1
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net bridge,helper=qbr,br=test1
