  demote vlan to universe in 20.04

Status in nova package in Ubuntu:

  In Progress

Bug description:
  As it came up int he discussion at:
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2019-December/008039.html

  vlan was only used in the context of ifupdown which is demoted to universe.
  Therefore vlan won't be needed in main.

  It will be unseeded soon via:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu/+merge/376746

  In addition there is only one dependency left
  $ reverse-depends -r focal vlan
  Reverse-Depends
  ===============
  * nova-compute-libvirt
  * nova-network              <-- already got dropped in nova-21.0.0~b1~git2019120415.45fb747c98

  Therefore @nova maintainers - please drop the dependency to the "vlan"
  package which is explicitly listed in d/control at the moment. The
  code seems to already use `ip link` so it might be just dropping the
  dependency, but I leave that to the openstack Team.
