icmp: support rfc 4884

Add setsockopt SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_4884 to return the offset to an extension struct if present. ICMP messages may include an extension structure after the original datagram. RFC 4884 standardized this behavior. It stores the offset in words to the extension header in u8 icmphdr.un.reserved[1]. The field is valid only for ICMP types destination unreachable, time exceeded and parameter problem, if length is at least 128 bytes and entire packet does not exceed 576 bytes. Return the offset to the start of the extension struct when reading an ICMP error from the error queue, if it matches the above constraints. Do not return the raw u8 field. Return the offset from the start of the user buffer, in bytes. The kernel does not return the network and transport headers, so subtract those. Also validate the headers. Return the offset regardless of validation, as an invalid extension must still not be misinterpreted as part of the original datagram. Note that !invalid does not imply valid. If the extension version does not match, no validation can take place, for instance. For backward compatibility, make this optional, set by setsockopt SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_RFC4884. For API example and feature test, see github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/blob/master/tests/recv_icmp_v2.c For forward compatibility, reserve only setsockopt value 1, leaving other bits for additional icmp extensions. Changes v1->v2: - convert word offset to byte offset from start of user buffer - return in ee_data as u8 may be insufficient - define extension struct and object header structs - return len only if constraints met - if returning len, also validate
