Allow wildcard aliases in --bridge-interface option
This is useful when using dnsmasq as DHCP server for a set of VMs whose data is routed by the host instead of being bridged. In this scenario: - There is an unbounded set of TAP interfaces that have no IP address at the host end. - DHCP allocation is done from an IPv4 address range associated with a dummy interface. - We run dnsmasq with --interface dummy --interface tap* --bind-dynamic, so that it listens on all the TAP interfaces, and --bridge-interface=dummy,tap*, so that it will allocate IP addresses via the TAP interfaces from the range associated with the dummy interface.
