Bridge support for USB/Wifi tethering

As discussed here there's a USB tethering feature planned for Jolla.

I would suggest usage of ethernet bridging instead of NAT (or at least an option to switch to bridged mode). It will decrease the load on the device as there will be neither packet manipulation nor unnecessary services running (like DHCP server). It will also simplify eventual connectivity problems debugging leaving the responsibility for proper network configuration of the PC to the internet provider.
