Lénaïc Huard 538daf7f3a Fix bridge configuration when OUTPUT policy is DROP on the host
When the host is configured with very restrictive firewall (default policy
is DROP for all chains, including OUTPUT), the bridge driver for Linux
adds netfilter entries to allow DHCP and DNS requests to go from the VM
to the dnsmasq of the host.

The issue that this commit fixes is the fact that a DROP policy on the OUTPUT
chain blocks the DHCP replies from the host’s dnsmasq to the VM.
As DHCP replies are sent in UDP, they are not caught by any --ctstate ESTABLISHED
rule and so, need to be explicitly allowed.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
