alpine-conf: modify setup-interfaces to create simple bridges

Modified setup-interfaces to create simple bridges (works only with
one interface per bridge). Useful when setting up a Xen system, since
interfaces need to be bridged in order for guests to have networking.
Some distributions automatically create one bridge for each interface
when Xen is installed, but I think this is too aggressive.

Changes since v1:

 * Only ask to bridge interfaces if Xen Dom0 is detected
