WIP: Re-add support for kernel GTP-U acceleration

When we branched off osmo-ggsn from the old openggsn code base, the
support for kernel-gtp got temporarily removed.  This patch
re-introduces support for handling the GTP-U plane in the Linux kernel
by means of libgtpnl + the kernel GTP-U driver.

This only works for IPv4 at the moment, until the kernel GTP-U code
gains IPv6 support.

Kernel GTP currently also is restricted to a single APN per GSN.
