bpf: support for access to tunnel options
After eBPF being able to programmatically access/manage tunnel key meta data via commit d3aa45ce6b94 ("bpf: add helpers to access tunnel metadata") and more recently also for IPv6 through c6c33454072f ("bpf: support ipv6 for bpf_skb_{set,get}_tunnel_key"), this work adds two complementary helpers to generically access their auxiliary tunnel options. Geneve and vxlan support this facility. For geneve, TLVs can be pushed, and for the vxlan case its GBP extension. I.e. setting tunnel key for geneve case only makes sense, if we can also read/write TLVs into it. In the GBP case, it provides the flexibility to easily map the group policy ID in combination with other helpers or maps. I chose to model this as two separate helpers, bpf_skb_{set,get}_tunnel_opt(), for a couple of reasons. bpf_skb_{set,get}_tunnel_key() is already rather complex by itself, and there may be cases for tunnel key backends where tunnel options are not always needed. If we would have integrated this into bpf_skb_{set,get}_tunnel_key() nevertheless, we are very limited with remaining helper arguments, so keeping compatibility on structs in case of passing in a flat buffer gets more cumbersome. Separating both also allows for more flexibility and future extensibility, f.e. options could be fed directly from a map, etc. Moreover, change geneve's xmit path to test only for info->options_len instead of TUNNEL_GENEVE_OPT flag. This makes it more consistent with vxlan's xmit path and allows for avoiding to specify a protocol flag in the API on xmit, so it can be protocol agnostic. Having info->options_len is enough information that is needed. Tested with vxlan and geneve.
