Add unified interface VLAN column

Proposed functionality

Add a new column vlans, unifying the results of untagged_vlan and tagged_vlans.

Use case

For switches, most interfaces are of type access and have an untagged_vlan assigned. Only some ports are uplink ports and use tagged_vlans (if not tagged (all)). For a quick overview, this requires two columns, where for most rows at least one cell is empty. Adding a single column provides a quick overview of the available VLANs on a given port and takes up less horizontal space.

This seems like it would introduce unnecessary ambiguity IMO. You would still need to distinguish between tagged and untagged VLANs within the column somehow. It's a lot cleaner just using the two separate columns.

What is the problem you're trying to address with the proposed change? Is it simply more efficient use of screen space?

It's simply just more efficient use of screen space. Especially on small devices like a tablet, space is valuable. However, I also understand the problem of ambiguity that this would introduce.
