data: add udev rules to make emulated ethernet devices default unmanaged

There are some out-of-tree drivers that create devices masquerading as
ethernets which are supposed to use their own management tools. Avoid touching
them.

The rules should be run after 80-net-setup-link.rules, so that the
ID_NET_DRIVER is set.
