During testing it is sometimes useful to force traffic which would
normally be forwarded by socket splicing through the tap interface.
In this commit, we add a command switch making it possible to disable
splicing for inbound local traffic.
For outbound local traffic this seems to be much trickier, so I leave
that for a possible later commit.
