gluon-client-bridge: use a veth pair instead of macvlan to connect local-node to br-client

macvlan interfaces never directly exchange traffic with the underlying
interface, but only with other hosts behind the interface. In consequence,
router advertisements from the uradvd running on br-client could never
reach local-node, preventing it from getting an IPv6 address without RAs
from an external radvd. Fix this be replacing the macvlan interface with
a veth pair (with the peer interface in br-client).

As a side effect, this saves about 5KB of flash, as the veth module is
simpler than macvlan.
