Title:
  missing manpage for bridge.conf

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There's currently no (easy) way to figure out the form of content of
  `/etc/qemu/bridge.conf`. Some howtos (e.g.
  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU
  #Bridged_networking_using_qemu-bridge-helper) mention
  `bridge.conf.sample` which is not available according to `apt-file`
  and the official wiki at wiki.qemu.org doesn't mention the file at
  all, it seems necessary, though, because specification of `-net nic
  -net bridge,br=bridge0` fails with `failed to get mtu of bridge
  `bridge0': No such device` (can't be investigated further because
  setup is completely unclear).
