can-raw: add msg_flags to distinguish local traffic
CAN has no addressing scheme. It is currently impossible for userspace
to tell is a received CAN frame comes from another process on the local
host, or from a remote CAN device.
This patch add support for userspace applications to distinguish between
'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic. The distinction is made by returning
flags in msg->msg_flags in the call to recvmsg().
The added documentation explains the introduced flags.
