[Chilli] Multiple Instances of Coova

[David Bird]

If you are wanting to run chilli on different VLANs on the same
interface, then you can have chilli do this directly (with only one
instance) using --ieee8021q option. All redirects will go to the same
captive portal, but you do have the vlan=# query string param to help
device which UI.
