tcp: Use a struct to represent a saved_syn



The TCP_SAVE_SYN has both the network header and tcp header.
The total length of the saved syn packet is currently stored in
the first 4 bytes (u32) of an array and the actual packet data is
stored after that.

A later patch will add a bpf helper that allows to get the tcp header
alone from the saved syn without the network header.  It will be more
convenient to have a direct offset to a specific header instead of
re-parsing it.  This requires to separately store the network hdrlen.
The total header length (i.e. network + tcp) is still needed for the
current usage in getsockopt.  Although this total length can be obtained
by looking into the tcphdr and then get the (th->doff << 2), this patch
chooses to directly store the tcp hdrlen in the second four bytes of
this newly created "struct saved_syn".  By using a new struct, it can
give a readable name to each individual header length.
