[pve-devel] [PATCH common] fix #7193: allow vlan-interfaces as physical bridge ports

as described in the bug-report having a vlan-interface on a physical
NIC (eno1.1234) as bridge port - allowed users until
057f62f ("fix #7118: fix bridge port detection when plugging netdev with vlan")
to stack 2 802.1q tags on a packet leaving a VM (not quite QinQ, as
both packets have the TPID of a plain 802.1q tag [0].
the fix in the patch 057f62f allowed for nics to have arbitrary names,
so I went ahead and only check if this is a VLAN-interface, without
matching the name for the <iface>.<VLAN> pattern (that is quite common
in debian-based systems but not the only way to configure a
vlan-interface).
Not sure if this is the cleanest way forward, but it fixes the
regression in #7193 for me in a test-setup.
[0] see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1ad - the spec says
the outer layer should have TPID (Tag protocol identifier ~ type)
of 0x88A8 and the inner keep the regular 0x8100 from 802.1Q - but it
seems this is not enforced by quite a number of switches in reality.
