Subject: tcp: Generalized TTL Security Mechanism

This patch adds the kernel portions needed to implement
RFC 5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM).
It is a lightweight security measure against forged
packets causing DoS attacks (for BGP).

This is already implemented the same way in BSD kernels.
For the necessary Quagga patch
  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/quagga/dev/17389

Description from Cisco
  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gt_btsh.html

It does add one byte to each socket structure, but I did
a little rearrangement to reuse a hole (on 64 bit), but it
does grow the structure on 32 bit

This should be documented on ip(4) man page and the Glibc in.h
file also needs update.  IPV6_MINHOPLIMIT should also be added
(although BSD doesn't support that).

Only TCP is supported, but could also be added to UDP, DCCP, SCTP
if desired.
