tcp: Clean up tcpi_snd_wnd probing

When available, we want to retrieve our socket peer's advertised window and
forward that to the guest.  That information has been available from the
kernel via the TCP_INFO getsockopt() since kernel commit 8f7baad7f035.

Currently our probing for this is a bit odd.  The HAS_SND_WND define
determines if our headers include the tcp_snd_wnd field, but that doesn't
necessarily mean the running kernel supports it.  Currently we start by
assuming it's _not_ available, but mark it as available if we ever see
a non-zero value in the field.  This is a bit hit and miss in two ways:
 * Zero is perfectly possible window the peer could report, so we can
   get false negatives
 * We're reading TCP_INFO into a local variable, which might not be zero
   initialised, so if the kernel _doesn't_ write it it could have non-zero
   garbage, giving us false positives.

We can use a more direct way of probing for this: getsockopt() reports the
length of the information retreived.  So, check whether that's long enough
to include the field.  This lets us probe the availability of the field
once and for all during initialisation.  That in turn allows ctx to become
a const pointer to tcp_prepare_flags() which cascades through many other
functions.

We also move the flag for the probe result from the ctx structure to a
global, to match peek_offset_cap.
