netsniff-ng: add packet fanout support

This work adds packet fanout support to netsniff-ng. Multiple netsniff-ng
instances can join the same fanout group with a particular id in order to
improve scaling.

Based on different fanout disciplines, e.g. distribute to fanout member
by packet hash, round-robin, by arrival cpu, by random, by socket rollover
(if one members socket queue is full, switch to next one, etc), by hardware
queue mapping, traffic can be distributed to one of the fanout members.

Moreover, we also allow the user to specify additional aux arguments, e.g.
whether to defrag incoming traffic for the fanout group or not, and whether
to roll over a socket in case other disciplines than socket rollover have
been used. All that is configurable via command line option.
