net: add initial MPTCP support

This currently defines an internal function supportsMultipathTCP which
reports whether MPTCP[1] is supported on the current platform.

Only Linux is supported here.

The check on Linux is performed once by attemting to create an MPTCP
socket and look at the returned error:

- If the protocol is not supported, EINVAL (kernel < 5.6) or
  EPROTONOSUPPORT (kernel >= 5.6) is returned and there is no point to
  try again.

- Other errors can be returned:
  - ENOPROTOOPT: the sysctl knob net.mptcp.enabled is set to 0
  - Unpredictable ones: if MPTCP is blocked using SELinux, eBPF, etc.

These other errors are due to modifications that can be reverted during
the session: MPTCP can be available again later. In this case, it is
fine to always try to create an MPTCP socket and fallback to TCP in case
of error.
