During testing it is sometimes useful to force traffic which would normally be forwared by socket splicing through the tap interface.

In this commit, we add a command switch enabling such funtionality for inbound local traffic.

For outbound local traffic this is much trickier, if even possible, so leave that for a later commit.

One nit, and the man page needs updating as Stefano mentions, otherwise LGTM.

This is currently listed in the common options, but has no effect for passt mode. Is that what we want? Or should we move this to the pasta specific options?
