WebUI forces to choose bridge members upon its definition

Description

New bridge can't be defined via Network>Interfaces>Add without selecting at least one member for it. Members field is treated as "required" when creating new bridge, however this is not the case when editing it - it is possible to remove all members and save such memberless bridge.

I consider a requirement to select at least one member when creating a bridge to be a bug, and allowing to save it memberless when editing to be a correct behavour.

Creating an internal network between jails and/or host (with IP assigned to bridge) is one of the use cases for such "memberless" bridge.

The crucial thing here is that bridge can have an IP assigned to it and host can use it. This way jails connected to this bridge can communicate not only between each other, but with host too. As this network is supposed to be internal, no physical interfaces can be connected to it - hence only IP assigned and no members until jails connect to it. The way you offer to do this might work for inter jail communication,  but I don't think it will work for communication with host.
