I noticed that the raspberry's MAC changed on every reboot or when a container/vm is started. Nothing too problematic, but this requires other devices to update their ARP table more often than needed.

This PR sets the MAC of vmbr0 to the one of eth0 in the network config. This should fix the issue for new users. Old users need to append their /etc/network/interfaces with

        post-up ip link set vmbr0 address <MAC-address of eth0>

From my knowledge, it is required to set the MAC of vmbr0 to one of the bridged ports (in this case eth0). Else it gets randomly generated, and the set address is ignored.
