Remove linux-compat loopback hacks from packet endpoint
Previously, gVisor did not represent loopback devices as an ethernet
device as Linux does. To maintain Linux API compatibility for packet
sockets, a workaround was used to add an ethernet header if a link
header was not already present in the packet buffer delivered to a
packet endpoint.
However, this workaround is a bug for non-ethernet based interfaces; not
all links use an ethernet header (e.g. pure L3/TUN interfaces).
As of 3b4bb947517d0d9010120aaa1c3989fd6abf278e, gVisor represents
loopback devices as an ethernet-based device so this workaround can
now be removed.

Updates #6530, #6531.
