bridge wlan connection to ethernet #609

Summary

Similar to how the ap and aphidden commands work by forwarding the ethernet connection to the wlan port, this function will forward the wlan connection to the ethernet port.

Usage

Say a user was able to get a strong wifi signal on their pi at only one specific spot in a room or small building and wanted to be able to extend that signal. If they were to forward that wifi signal to the pi's ethernet port they could then connect a router and re-broadcast the signal.

This could also be useful if a user wanted to create their own network within an existing network that they had access to.

Idea explained further in the first 3 minutes of this video.

Nice. I will watch the video too. Sorry I haven't deep dived the network stack yet.
