[NET]: Add network namespace clone & unshare support.

This patch allows you to create a new network namespace
using sys_clone, or sys_unshare.

As the network namespace is still experimental and under development
clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is
selected at compile time.

As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths
that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few
additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions
to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.
