xen-netback: handle IPv6 TCP GSO packets from the guest
This patch adds a xenstore feature flag, festure-gso-tcpv6, to advertise that netback can handle IPv6 TCP GSO packets. It creates SKB_GSO_TCPV6 skbs if the frontend passes an extra segment with the new type XEN_NETIF_GSO_TYPE_TCPV6 added to netif.h.
