flow, tcp: Generalise connection types

Currently TCP connections use a 1-bit selector, 'spliced', to determine the
rest of the contents of the structure.  We want to generalise the TCP
connection table to other types of flows in other protocols.  Make a start
on this by replacing the tcp_conn_common structure with a new flow_common
structure with an enum rather than a simple boolean indicating the type of
flow.
