[strongSwan] route traffic to docker0 bridge

Use `ip link` instead. It shows you every possible detail about your network interfaces. `brctl` is deprecated.
(e.g. `ip -d link show`)

IPsec policies and routing are different things. You need to configure a passthrough policy for the traffic to/from the docker subnet.

Kind regards
