Allow users to pass an IFF_VNET_HDR tap fd via "-net tap,fd=X"
by querying the fd with the recently added TUNGETIFF ioctl() to
see if IFF_VNET_HDR has been enabled.
Note: users wishing to pass an IFF_VNET_HDR tap fd to qemu
should check both that a) this version of qemu can handle
such an fd and b) that the TUNGETIFF ioctl() is available in
the running kernel.
We add a comment to the "qemu -help" output to indicate to
users that this version of qemu supports IFF_VNET_HDR.
The -help output is not a supported interface. An info command in the
monitor would be a better way to detect this.
