tun: TUNGETIFF interface to query name and flags
Add a TUNGETIFF interface so that userspace can query a
tun/tap descriptor for its name and flags.
This is needed because it is common for one app to create
a tap interface, exec another app and pass it the file
descriptor for the interface. Without TUNGETIFF the spawned
app has no way of detecting wheter the interface has e.g.
IFF_VNET_HDR set.
