support tap devices in qemu backend

Browse Source 
The motivation for this is networking out (in particular, testing NFS
support) from the VM.

We could be a lot more user friendly (a la libvirt) by creating the tap
device for users and allowing them to specify a bridge instead, but then
we'd need root to create this tap device. For now, let's make people do
their own tap devices, and just use them. A tap device can be created for a
bridge as follows:

    # ip tuntap add linuxkit0 mode tap user `whoami`
    # ip link set linuxkit0 up
    # ip link set linuxkit0 master $bridge_name

and then used by:

    $ ./bin/linuxkit run qemu -tap-device linuxkit0 linuxkit
