net: Rename VLANClientState to NetClientState

The vlan feature is no longer part of net core. Rename VLANClientState
to NetClientState because net clients are not explicitly associated with
a vlan at all, instead they have a peer net client to which they are...

net: Rename vc local variables to nc

Now that VLANClientState has been renamed to NetClientState all 'vc'

net: purge the monitor object from all init functions

The only backend that really uses it is the socket one, which calls
monitor_get_fd(). But it can use 'cur_mon' instead.

Add support for net bridge

The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge. This
