bpfilter_umh currently printed all messages to /dev/console and this
might interfere the user activity(*).

This commit changes the output device to /dev/kmsg so that the messages
from bpfilter_umh won't show on the console directly.

<title>bpfilter: remove extra header search paths for bpfilter_umh</title>

Currently, the header search paths -Itools/include and
-Itools/include/uapi are not used. Let's drop the unused code.

We can remove -I. too by fixing up one C file.

<title>bpfilter: don't pass O_CREAT when opening console for debug</title>

Passing O_CREAT (00000100) to open means we should also pass file
mode as the third parameter.  Creating /dev/console as a regular
file may not be helpful anyway, so simply drop the flag when
opening debug_fd.

<title>net: add skeleton of bpfilter kernel module</title>

bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko

The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
  is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
  with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
  Example:
  $ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o
  0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end
  0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size
  0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start
- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko

bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.

Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.

Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko

If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.
