qemu-bridge-helper: force usage of a very high MAC address for the bridge

Linux uses the lowest enslaved MAC address as the MAC address of
the bridge.  Set MAC address to a high value so that it does not
affect the MAC address of the bridge.

Changing the MAC address of the bridge could cause a few seconds
of network downtime.
