trafgen: add option to not adjust system socket mem during testrun
The default behavior of trafgen is to boost the systems default
socket memory limits during a testrun. This behaviour does not
always result in improved performance, because this will stress
the kernels SLAB allocators unnecessary.
Introducing an option "--no-sock-mem" that instruct trafgen
to not perform any socket memory adjustments.
Fixes: #130
