Required due to #64. Bridged networks were being created on top of a
vLAN if the Cluster network was a vLAN device, rather than being created
on the underlying device. This came from a previous revision of the
cluster architecture guidelines where Cluster was supposed to be a raw
device rather than a vLAN. This fixed the problem by implementing a
configuration field for a "bridge_device", a NIC device that can then
have the bridged vLANs created on top of it.
Fixes#64
listen-address is enough; adding interface too causes weird issues where
dnsmasq is listening on an IPv6 global wildcard too which conflicts with
the PowerDNS instance.

Without this, DHCP fails when traversing only the local bridge, for
Debian Jessie or earlier (and possibly other OSes as well), due to the
missing UDP checksums. This disables the offload and hence reenables
the checksums even on the software-only bridge.
Also rearranged the steps and added comments arround this section to
better clarify what each command is doing.
MTUs were hardcoded at 9000, which breaks if the underlying interface
or network switch does not support jumbo frames, a possible deployment
limitation. This has non-obvious consequences due to MTU mismatches
for certain services (Ceph, Zookeeper, etc.).
This commit adds support for configurable MTUs for each interface,
set in pvcd.yaml. The example has been updated to reflect this, with
a default of 1500 (the Ethernet standard).
This commit also adds autoconfiguration of the VNI device MTU based
on the `vni_mtu` value, the same for bridge networks and minus 50
(rather than 200 from the hardcoded value, based on the following
resource [1]) for VXLAN networks.

Completely restructure the daemon code to move the 4 discrete daemons
into a single daemon that can be run on every hypervisor. Introduce the
idea of a static list of "coordinator" nodes which are configured at
install time to run Zookeeper and FRR in router mode, and which are
allowed to take on client network management duties (gateway, DHCP, DNS,
etc.) while also allowing them to run VMs (i.e. no dedicated "router"
nodes required).
