util: fallback to ioctl(SIOCBRADDBR) if netlink RTM_NEWLINK fails

Browse Source 
commit fc7b23db switched from using ioctl(SIOCBRADDBR) for bridge
creation to using a netlink RTM_NEWLINK message with IFLA_INFO_KIND =
"bridge", which is the more modern way to create a bridge. However,
although older kernels (e.g. 2.6.32, in RHEL6/CentOS6) support
creating *some* link types with RTM_NEWLINK, they don't support
creating bridges, and there is no compile-time way to figure this out
(since the "type" isn't an enum, but rather a character string).

This patch moves the body of the SIOCBRADDBR version of
virNetDevBridgeCreate() into a static function, calls the new function
from the original, and also calls the new function from the
RTM_NEWLINK version if the RTM_NEWLINK message generates an EOPNOTSUPP
error.
