tcp: socket option to check for MPTCP fallback to TCP

A way for an application to know if an MPTCP connection fell back to TCP
is to use getsockopt(MPTCP_INFO) and look for errors. The issue with
this technique is that the same errors -- EOPNOTSUPP (IPv4) and
ENOPROTOOPT (IPv6) -- are returned if there was a fallback, *or* if the
kernel doesn't support this socket option. The userspace then has to
look at the kernel version to understand what the errors mean.

It is not clean, and it doesn't take into account older kernels where
the socket option has been backported. A cleaner way would be to expose
this info to the TCP socket level. In case of MPTCP socket where no
fallback happened, the socket options for the TCP level will be handled
in MPTCP code, in mptcp_getsockopt_sol_tcp(). If not, that will be in
TCP code, in do_tcp_getsockopt(). So MPTCP simply has to set the value
1, while TCP has to set 0.

If the socket option is not supported, one of these two errors will be
reported:
- EOPNOTSUPP (95 - Operation not supported) for MPTCP sockets
- ENOPROTOOPT (92 - Protocol not available) for TCP sockets, e.g. on the
  socket received after an 'accept()', when the client didn't request to
  use MPTCP: this socket will be a TCP one, even if the listen socket
  was an MPTCP one.

With this new option, the kernel can return a clear answer to both "Is
this kernel new enough to tell me the fallback status?" and "If it is
new enough, is it currently a TCP or MPTCP socket?" questions, while not
breaking the previous method.
