[TUN]: Allow to register tun devices in namespace.
This is basically means that a net is set for a new device, but actually also involves two more steps: 1. mark the tun device as "local", i.e. do not allow for it to move across namespaces. This is done so, since tun device is most often associated to some file (and thus to some process) and moving the device alone is not valid while keeping the file and the process outside. The need in ability to move a detached persistent device is to be investigated later. 2. get the tun device's net when tun becomes attached and put one when it becomes detached. This is needed to handle the case when a task owning the tun dies, but a files lives for some more time - in this case we must not allow for net to be freed, since its exit hook will spoil that file's private data by unregistering the tun from under tun_chr_close.
