Remove the hidden assumption that options are allocated at the end of
the struct, and teach the compiler about them using a flexible array.

First patch is converting hard-coded 'info + 1' to use ip_tunnel_info()
helper.
Second patch adds the 'options' flexible array and changes the helper to
use it.

Changelog -
v2->v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250212140953.107533-1-gal@nvidia.com/
* Add a precursory patch to convert hard-coded user of options.
* Keep ip_tunnel_info() macro (Alexander).
* Use __aligned_largest (Alexander).

v1->v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250209101853.15828-1-gal@nvidia.com/
* Remove change in struct layout, align 'options' field explicitly (Ilya, Kees, Jakub).
* Change allocation I missed in v1 in metadata_dst_alloc_percpu().

Thanks,
Gal
