[1.2] Re-add tun/tap to default device rules

Since v1.2.0 was released, a number of users complained that the removal of tun/tap device access from the default device ruleset is causing a regression in their workloads. Additionally, it seems that some upper-level orchestration tools (Docker Swarm, Kubernetes) makes it either impossible or cumbersome to supply additional device rules. While it's probably not quite right to have /dev/net/tun in a default device list, it was there from the very beginning, and users rely on it. Let's keep it there for the sake of backward compatibility. This reverts commit 2ce40b6. Signed-off-by: Kir Kolyshkin <[email protected]> (Cherry-pick of commit 394f4c3.)
