This adds support for the newly added fwmark option to CAKE, which allows
overriding the tin selection from the per-packet firewall marks. The fwmark
field is a bitmask that is applied to the fwmark to select the tin.

Since CAKE now has three different settings that can be overridden by tc
filters (priority and host and flow hashes), documenting how they work is
probably a good idea.

This patch makes sch_cake's gso/gro splitting configurable
from userspace.
To disable breaking apart superpackets in sch_cake:
tc qdisc replace dev whatever root cake no-split-gso
to enable:
tc qdisc replace dev whatever root cake split-gso

This is consistent with the other multi-word parameters. Also change the
JSON output to be consistent with way it is formatted for the other
options.

sch_cake is intended to squeeze the most bandwidth and latency out of even
the slowest ISP links and routers, while presenting an API simple enough
that even an ISP can configure it.
Example of use on a cable ISP uplink:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 cake bandwidth 20Mbit nat docsis ack-filter
To shape a cable download link (ifb and tc-mirred setup elided)
tc qdisc add dev ifb0 cake bandwidth 200mbit nat docsis ingress wash besteffort
Cake is filled with:
* A hybrid Codel/Blue AQM algorithm, "Cobalt", tied to an FQ_Codel
derived Flow Queuing system, which autoconfigures based on the bandwidth.
* A novel "triple-isolate" mode (the default) which balances per-host
and per-flow FQ even through NAT.
* An deficit based shaper, that can also be used in an unlimited mode.
* 8 way set associative hashing to reduce flow collisions to a minimum.
* A reasonable interpretation of various diffserv latency/loss tradeoffs.
* Support for zeroing diffserv markings for entering and exiting traffic.
* Support for interacting well with Docsis 3.0 shaper framing.
* Support for DSL framing types and shapers.
* Support for ack filtering.
* Extensive statistics for measuring, loss, ecn markings, latency variation.
Various versions baking have been available as an out of tree build for
kernel versions going back to 3.10, as the embedded router world has been
running a few years behind mainline Linux. A stable version has been
generally available on lede-17.01 and later.
sch_cake replaces a combination of iptables, tc filter, htb and fq_codel
in the sqm-scripts, with sane defaults and vastly simpler configuration.
