net: sctp: introduce uapi header for sctp
This patch introduces an UAPI header for the SCTP protocol, so that we can facilitate the maintenance and development of user land applications or libraries, in particular in terms of header synchronization. To not break compatibility, some fragments from lksctp-tools' netinet/sctp.h have been carefully included, while taking care that neither kernel nor user land breaks, so both compile fine with this change (for lksctp-tools I tested with the old netinet/sctp.h header and with a newly adapted one that includes the uapi sctp header). lksctp-tools smoke test run through successfully as well in both cases.
