ipvlan: decouple l3s mode dependencies from other modes

Right now ipvlan has a hard dependency on CONFIG_NETFILTER and
otherwise it cannot be built. However, the only ipvlan operation
mode that actually depends on netfilter is l3s, everything else
is independent of it. Break this hard dependency such that users
are able to use ipvlan l3 mode on systems where netfilter is not
compiled in.

Therefore, this adds a hidden CONFIG_IPVLAN_L3S bool which is
defaulting to y when CONFIG_NETFILTER is set in order to retain
existing behavior for l3s. All l3s related code is refactored
into ipvlan_l3s.c that is compiled in when enabled.

ipvtap: IP-VLAN based tap driver

This patch adds a tap character device driver that is based on the
IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device can be created
in the same way as an ipvlan device, using 'type ipvtap', and then accessed
using the tap user space interface.

ipvlan: Initial check-in of the IPVLAN driver.

This driver is very similar to the macvlan driver except that it
uses L3 on the frame to determine the logical interface while
functioning as packet dispatcher. It inherits L2 of the master
device hence the packets on wire will have the same L2 for all
the packets originating from all virtual devices off of the same
master device.

This driver was developed keeping the namespace use-case in
mind. Hence most of the examples given here take that as the
base setup where main-device belongs to the default-ns and
virtual devices are assigned to the additional namespaces.

The device operates in two different modes and the difference
in these two modes in primarily in the TX side.

(a) L2 mode : In this mode, the device behaves as a L2 device.
TX processing upto L2 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched after that
into the main device (default-ns) and queued for xmit.

RX processing is simple and all multicast, broadcast (if
applicable), and unicast belonging to the address(es) are
delivered to the virtual devices.

(b) L3 mode : In this mode, the device behaves like a L3 device.
TX processing upto L3 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched to the
main-device (default-ns) for the L2 processing. Hence the routing
table of the default-ns will be used in this mode.

RX processins is somewhat similar to the L2 mode except that in
this mode only Unicast packets are delivered to the virtual device
while main-dev will handle all other packets.

The devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2
package -

ip link add link <master> <virtual> type ipvlan mode [ l2 | l3 ]
