bpf: add bpf_skb_change_type helper

This work adds a helper for changing skb->pkt_type in a controlled way. We only allow a subset of possible values and can extend that in future should other use cases come up. Doing this as a helper has the advantage that errors can be handeled gracefully and thus helper kept extensible. It's a write counterpart to pkt_type member we can already read from struct __sk_buff context. Major use case is to change incoming skbs to PACKET_HOST in a programmatic way instead of having to recirculate via redirect(..., BPF_F_INGRESS), for example.
