Added TUNGETSUPPORTEDOFFLOADS that should allow
to get bits of supported offloads.

So we don't use dedicated ioctls in the past, instead, we just probing
by checking the return value of TUNSETOFFLOADS.

E.g qemu has the following codes:

int tap_probe_has_ufo(int fd)
{
     unsigned offload;

     offload = TUN_F_CSUM | TUN_F_UFO;

     if (ioctl(fd, TUNSETOFFLOAD, offload) < 0)
         return 0;

     return 1;
}

Any reason we can't keep using that?

Thanks
Well, even in this example. To check the ufo feature, we trying to set it.
What if we don't need to "enable" UFO and/or do not change its state?
I think it's a good idea to have the ability to get supported offloads
without changing device behavior.

Added 2 additional offlloads for USO(IPv4 & IPv6).
Separate offloads are required for Windows VM guests,
g.e. Windows may set USO rx only for IPv4.
