netfilter: exthdr: add support for tcp option removal
This allows to replace a tcp option with nop padding to selectively disable a particular tcp option. Optstrip mode is chosen when userspace passes the exthdr expression with neither a source nor a destination register attribute. This is identical to xtables TCPOPTSTRIP extension. The only difference is that TCPOPTSTRIP allows to pass in a bitmap of options to remove rather than a single number. Unlike TCPOPTSTRIP this expression can be used multiple times in the same rule to get the same effect. We could add a new nested attribute later on in case there is a use case for single-expression-multi-remove.
