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.
