Tap: Fix hardware address assignment
[VPP-200]: Previously, VPP set the same hardware address to tap interface as of Linux side tap interface, if neither hardware address nor 'random' keyword were given explicitly on VPP command line during tap creation or modification, which was default case. This patch makes sure to set the different hardware addresses randomly as default case. While one can set unique hardware address or similar to one at Linux side using VPP tap command line.
