This extends the tap plugin API enabling the user to instruct the CNI plugin the created tap device must be set as a port of an *existing* linux bridge on the pod network namespace. This is helpful for KubeVirt, allowing network connectivity to be extended from the pod's interface into the Virtual Machine running inside the pod.
