glibc's net/if.h contains copies of definitions from linux/if.h and these
conflict and cause build failures if both files are included by application
source code. Changes in uapi headers, which fixed header file dependencies to
include linux/if.h when it was needed, e.g. commit 1ffad83d, made the
net/if.h and linux/if.h incompatibilities visible as build failures for
userspace applications like iproute2 and xtables-addons.
This patch fixes compile errors when glibc net/if.h is included before
linux/if.h:

./linux/if.h:101:24: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_ALLMULTI’
./linux/if.h💯23: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_PROMISC’
The cases where linux/if.h is included before net/if.h need a similar fix in
the glibc side, or the order of include files can be changed userspace
code as a workaround.
This change was tested in x86 userspace on Debian unstable with
scripts/headers_compile_test.sh:
$ make headers_install && \
cd usr/include && ../../scripts/headers_compile_test.sh -l -k

These are private to userspace, and they're unstable
anyway and can be shuffled at will (see 080e4130b1)
so any userspace application relying on them is on crack.

We have documentation for these flags but they're scattered
all over the place. #defines don't allow documentation to be
written easily so to help to start bringing some documentation
together use the enums kdoc practice but keep the defines to
allow userspace to be able to #ifdef them.
I've verified the same values are assigned before and after
with a simple userspace test program [0] and checksumming the
output.

Add a operations structure that allows a network interface to export
the fact that it supports package forwarding in hardware between
physical interfaces and other mac layer devices assigned to it (such
as macvlans). This operaions structure can be used by virtual mac
devices to bypass software switching so that forwarding can be done
in hardware more efficiently.
