runqemu-ifupdown/get-tapdevs: Add support for ip tuntap

The *ip* command supports the creation and destruction of TAP devices since
2009 and might be more likely installed on systems then *tunctl*. Therefore
it should be tried to setup or teardown the TAP interface with *ip* before
falling back to *tunctl*.
