docs: Convert alias and bridge to rst

Hi Dave,

Here is my first attempt at working on converting docs in Documentation/networking to rst format. I've picked a couple of trivial ones to start with. If there is anything extra I can do to make your life easier during documentation conversion please say. (Also if there is some reason that it would be preferable to _not_ embark on this task please say :)

This set does not make any changes to the converted files apart from formatting.

thanks,
Tobin.

v2:
- remove incorrect patch from set (changing 'Indices' indentation)

2.17.1

The kernel documentation is now restructured text. Convert the IP aliasing documentation and include it in the toplevel kernel documentation.

- Fix heading adornments.
- Correctly indent code snippets.
- Limit line length to 72 characters inline with kernel documentation standards.
- Add license identifier.

-IP-Aliasing:
-============
-
-IP-aliases are an obsolete way to manage multiple IP-addresses/masks
-per interface. Newer tools such as iproute2 support multiple
-address/prefixes per interface, but aliases are still supported
-for backwards compatibility.
-
-An alias is formed by adding a colon and a string when running ifconfig.
-This string is usually numeric, but this is not a must.
-
-o Alias creation.
-  Alias creation is done by 'magic' interface naming: eg. to create a
-  200.1.1.1 alias for eth0 ...
-  
-    # ifconfig eth0:0 200.1.1.1  etc,etc....
-                   ~~ -> request alias #0 creation (if not yet exists) for eth0
-
-    The corresponding route is also set up by this command. 
-    Please note: The route always points to the base interface.
-	
-
-o Alias deletion.
-  The alias is removed by shutting the alias down:
-
-    # ifconfig eth0:0 down
-                 ~~~~~~~~~~ -> will delete alias
-
-  		   		   
-o Alias (re-)configuring
-
-  Aliases are not real devices, but programs should be able to configure and
-  refer to them as usual (ifconfig, route, etc).
-
-
-o Relationship with main device
-
-  If the base device is shut down the added aliases will be deleted 
-  too.
