af-packet: Add flag to distinguish VID 0 from no-vlan.

Browse source 
Currently, user-space cannot determine if a 0 tcp_vlan_tci
means there is no VLAN tag or the VLAN ID was zero.

Add flag to make this explicit.  User-space can check for
TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID || tp_vlan_tci > 0, which will be backwards
compatible. Older could would have just checked for tp_vlan_tci,
so it will work no worse than before.
