tun: Interface to query tun/tap features.

The problem with introducing checksum offload and gso to tun is they
need to set dev->features to enable GSO and/or checksumming, which is
supposed to be done before register_netdevice(), ie. as part of
TUNSETIFF.

Unfortunately, TUNSETIFF has always just ignored flags it doesn't
understand, so there's no good way of detecting whether the kernel
supports new IFF_ flags.

This patch implements a TUNGETFEATURES ioctl which returns all the valid IFF
flags.  It could be extended later to include other features.

Here's an example program which uses it:

#include <linux/if_tun.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static struct {
	unsigned int flag;
	const char *name;
} known_flags[] = {
	{ IFF_TUN, "TUN" },
	{ IFF_TAP, "TAP" },
	{ IFF_NO_PI, "NO_PI" },
	{ IFF_ONE_QUEUE, "ONE_QUEUE" },
};

int main()
{
	unsigned int features, i;

	int netfd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR);
	if (netfd < 0)
		err(1, "Opening /dev/net/tun");

	if (ioctl(netfd, TUNGETFEATURES, &features) != 0) {
		printf("Kernel does not support TUNGETFEATURES, guessing\n");
		features = (IFF_TUN|IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_ONE_QUEUE);
	}
	printf("Available features are: ");
	for (i = 0; i < sizeof(known_flags)/sizeof(known_flags[0]); i++) {
		if (features & known_flags[i].flag) {
			features &= ~known_flags[i].flag;
			printf("%s ", known_flags[i].name);
		}
	}
	if (features)
		printf("(UNKNOWN %#x)", features);
	printf("\n");
	return 0;
}
