udp: add udp gso

Implement generic segmentation offload support for udp datagrams. A
follow-up patch adds support to the protocol stack to generate such
packets.

UDP GSO is not UFO. UFO fragments a single large datagram. GSO splits
a large payload into a number of discrete UDP datagrams.

The implementation adds a GSO type SKB_UDP_GSO_L4 to differentiate it
from UFO (SKB_UDP_GSO).

IPPROTO_UDPLITE is excluded, as that protocol has no gso handler
registered.
