bpf: add bpf_skb_change_proto helper
This patch adds a minimal helper for doing the groundwork of changing the skb->protocol in a controlled way. Currently supported is v4 to v6 and vice versa transitions, which allows f.e. for a minimal, static nat64 implementation where applications in containers that still require IPv4 can be transparently operated in an IPv6-only environment. For example, host facing veth of the container can transparently do the transitions in a programmatic way with the help of clsact qdisc and cls_bpf. Idea is to separate concerns for keeping complexity of the helper lower, which means that the programs utilize bpf_skb_change_proto(), bpf_skb_store_bytes() and bpf_lX_csum_replace() to get the job done, instead of doing everything in a single helper (and thus partially duplicating helper functionality). Also, bpf_skb_change_proto() shouldn't need to deal with raw packet data as this is done by other helpers. bpf_skb_proto_6_to_4() and bpf_skb_proto_4_to_6() unclone the skb to operate on a private one, push or pop additionally required header space and migrate the gso/gro meta data from the shared info. We do mark the gso type as dodgy so that headers are checked and segs recalculated by the gso/gro engine. The gso_size target is adapted as well. The flags argument added is currently reserved and can be used for future extensions.
