Define feature values by bit position instead of direct 2**i values
and force the values to be of type netdev_features_t.

Cleaned and extended from patch by Mahesh Bandewar [off-list ref]:
+ added netdev_features_t casts
+ included bits under NETIF_F_GSO_MASK
+ moved feature #defines out of struct net_device definition

You should either add BUILD_BUG_ON()s somewhere to ensure that the
netdev feature and skb GSO flags remain in sync, or redefine the skb GSO
flags using the netdev feature flags (which I thought was the reason for
moving features to their own header).
