netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL to dev->netns_local

"Interface can't change network namespaces" is rather an attribute,
not a feature, and it can't be changed via Ethtool.
Make it a "cold" private flag instead of a netdev_feature and free
one more bit.

 Unfortunately, these namespaces can not be used with actual switching
 ASICs, as their ports can not be migrated to other network namespaces
-(NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL) and most of them probably do not support the

 L1-separation provided by namespaces.
 
 However, a similar kind of flexibility can be achieved by using VRFs and
