net/packet: add PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_IGNORE_OUTGOING

Extend packet socket option PACKET_IGNORE_OUTGOING to fanout groups.

The socket option sets ptype.ignore_outgoing, which makes
dev_queue_xmit_nit skip the socket.

When the socket joins a fanout group, the option is not reflected in
the struct ptype of the group. dev_queue_xmit_nit only tests the
fanout ptype, so the flag is ignored once a socket joins a
fanout group.

Inheriting the option from a socket would change established behavior.
Different sockets in the group can set different flags, and can also
change them at runtime.

Testing in packet_rcv_fanout defeats the purpose of the original
patch, which is to avoid skb_clone in dev_queue_xmit_nit (esp. for
MSG_ZEROCOPY packets).

Instead, introduce a new fanout group flag with the same behavior.

Tested with https://github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/blob/master/tests/test_psock_fanout_ignore_outgoing.c
