BPF allows for dynamic tunneling, choosing the tunnel destination and
features on-demand. Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room to allow for efficient
tunneling at the TC hooks.

Patch 1
  is a performance optimization, avoiding an unnecessary unclone
  for the TCP hot path.

Patches 2..6
  introduce a regression test. These can be squashed, but the code is
  arguably more readable when gradually expanding the feature set.

Patch 7
  is a performance optimization, avoid copying network headers
  that are going to be overwritten. This also simplifies the bpf
  program.

Patch 8
  reenables bpf_skb_adjust_room for UDP packets.

Patch 9
  add support for gso packets, which require additional metadata set
  in the skb. It does this through new flags to bpf_skb_adjust_room.
  other alternatives considered:
  - individual bpf_{ipip, gre, udp, ..}_encap functions that combine
    adjust room and bpf_skb_store_bytes.
  - new bpf_encap_fixup function called after bpf_skb_adjust_room and
    bpf_skb_store_bytes that parses the tunnel and sets the metadata.

Patches 10..13
  expand the regression test to make use of the new features and
  enable the GSO testcases.

  these could be interleaved with each of the new features, were it
  not for the separate sync bpf.h patch.
