Title: Feature/network state bridge bypassfirewall

This will bypass the firewall for bridged interfaces by default. User can disable this functionality, but will have to manually add the firewall settings into iptables for the bridge to actually work.

There is a performance gain if iptables does not have to filter and allow traffic over the bridged device.
