net: provide a sysctl raw_l3mdev_accept for raw socket lookup with VRFs

Add a sysctl raw_l3mdev_accept to control raw socket lookup in a manner
similar to use of tcp_l3mdev_accept for stream and of udp_l3mdev_accept
for datagram sockets. Have this default to enabled for reasons of
backwards compatibility. This is so as to specify the output device
with cmsg and IP_PKTINFO, but using a socket not bound to the
corresponding VRF. This allows e.g. older ping implementations to be
run with specifying the device but without executing it in the VRF.
If the option is disabled, packets received in a VRF context are only
handled by a raw socket bound to the VRF, and correspondingly packets
in the default VRF are only handled by a socket not bound to any VRF.

 TCP & UDP services running in the default VRF context (ie., not bound
 to any VRF device) can work across all VRF domains by enabling the
 tcp_l3mdev_accept and udp_l3mdev_accept sysctl options:
+
     sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_l3mdev_accept=1
     sysctl -w net.ipv4.udp_l3mdev_accept=1
 
+These options are disabled by default so that a socket in a VRF is only
+selected for packets in that VRF. There is a similar option for RAW
+sockets, which is enabled by default for reasons of backwards compatibility.
+This is so as to specify the output device with cmsg and IP_PKTINFO, but
+using a socket not bound to the corresponding VRF. This allows e.g. older ping
+implementations to be run with specifying the device but without executing it

 netfilter rules on the VRF device can be used to limit access to services
 running in the default VRF context as well.
