A `container-network-vmnet-helper` plugin bridges container machines onto a physical interface with static IPv4 and an address pool. Machines attach via `container machine set network=<spec>` and set extra kernel command-line args with `kernel-arg=`. Bridged networks are machine-only; a regular container requesting one is rejected. Signed-off-by: s3rj1k <evasive.gyron@gmail.com>
