networking: add and use skb_put_u8()

Joe and Bjørn suggested that it'd be nicer to not have the
cast in the fairly common case of doing
	*(u8 *)skb_put(skb, 1) = c;

Add skb_put_u8() for this case, and use it across the code,
using the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, C, S;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = {skb_put};
    fresh identifier fn2 = fn ## "_u8";
    @@
    - *(u8 *)fn(SKB, S) = C;
    + fn2(SKB, C);

Note that due to the "S", the spatch isn't perfect, it should
have checked that S is 1, but there's also places that use a
sizeof expression like sizeof(var) or sizeof(u8) etc. Turns
out that nobody ever did something like
	*(u8 *)skb_put(skb, 2) = c;

which would be wrong anyway since the second byte wouldn't be
initialized.
