rG4d281507f5f1: bridge: be consistent about PVID terminology
Summary

The PVID option is exposed to the user as 'untagged', but the API was
inconsistent on whether it's called 'untagged' or 'PVID'. Standardise
on calling it PVID everywhere in the code, since this is the 802.1Q
terminology.

Keep 'untagged' as the user-facing term since sysadmins are not network
admins and are often not familiar with the term PVID.

rebase on main and move out of the bridge stack so this can be landed quicker.

”port port vlan identifier”?

on the one hand i appreciate we should avoid "PIN number" constructs, but i wonder if it isn't useful to be somewhat explicit here.

perhaps "if PVID"?

PIN number

remove the bif_pvid comment

it's obvious from what it is, since it has the type ether_vlanid_t and is
literally called "bif_pvid".
