[COSMETIC] ether address zero truncate

Hi!

I just started using ebtables, and it's a great program!

I'm noticing a small problem though...

  # ebtables -L --Lc --Ln
  Bridge table: filter

  Bridge chain: INPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT

  Bridge chain: FORWARD, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT

  Bridge chain: OUTPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT

  Bridge chain: newaccounting, entries: 64, policy: ACCEPT
  -s 0:d0:b7:b8:38:2d -j ACCEPT 
  -s 0:3:47:6e:86:e2 -j ACCEPT

The ether_ntoa() function (used by ebtables) doesn't print leading
zeroes.  Other commands do.  (arp -an, brctl showmacs ...)

As a result, my perl program can't compare the output of these commands
as easily as expected, and the columns don't line up when showing the
rules.

Would it be a good idea to add leading zeroes?

Thanks!
