Description: add optional depends: bridge-utils

Additional info:

Error: Failed to create network "lxdbr0" in project "default": Failed to run: ip link add lxdbr0 type bridge: Error: Unknown device type.
```

Steps to reproduce:

Initialise LXD on a headless Arch system: `lxd init` with the default bridge `lxdbr0`

(perhaps bridge-utils was a dependency of ebtables previously which has been replaced by iptables-nft)
This task depends upon

I'm unable to reproduce this issue inside a VM, and a quick scan of lxd's source code doesn't have any references to bridge-utils/brctl.

I came across this issue on a bare bones Arch install with no desktop environment & basically nothing installed (no NetworkManager either)

If you cannot replicate feel free to close - I've never had this issue on a system with a desktop environment.

Anyone setting up a headless LXD host should know what they are doing ;o)

On a new headless Arch install I could not replicate it either.
