net: allow storing xfrm interface metadata in metadata_dst

XFRM interfaces provide the association of various XFRM transformations
to a netdevice using an 'if_id' identifier common to both the XFRM data
structures (polcies, states) and the interface. The if_id is configured by
the controlling entity (usually the IKE daemon) and can be used by the
administrator to define logical relations between different connections.

For example, different connections can share the if_id identifier so
that they pass through the same interface, . However, currently it is
not possible for connections using a different if_id to use the same
interface while retaining the logical separation between them, without
using additional criteria such as skb marks or different traffic
selectors.

When having a large number of connections, it is useful to have a the
logical separation offered by the if_id identifier but use a single
network interface. Similar to the way collect_md mode is used in IP
tunnels.

This patch attempts to enable different configuration mechanisms - such
as ebpf programs, LWT encapsulations, and TC - to attach metadata
to skbs which would carry the if_id. This way a single xfrm interface in
collect_md mode can demux traffic based on this configuration on tx and
provide this metadata on rx.

The XFRM metadata is somewhat similar to ip tunnel metadata in that it
has an "id", and shares similar configuration entities (bpf, tc, ...),
however, it does not necessarily represent an IP tunnel or use other
ip tunnel information, and also has an optional "link" property which
can be used for affecting underlying routing decisions.

Additional xfrm related criteria may also be added in the future.

Therefore, a new metadata type is introduced, to be used in subsequent
patches in the xfrm interface and configuration entities.
