bridge: add netlink notification on forward entry changes

This allows applications to query and monitor bridge forwarding
table in the same method used for neighbor table. The forward table
entries are returned in same structure format as used by the ioctl.
If more information is desired in future, the netlink method is
extensible.

Example (using bridge extensions to iproute2)
  # br monitor
