Support creating protocol instances with Stack ref

Network or transport protocols may want to reach the stack. Support this
by letting the stack create the protocol instances so it can pass a
reference to itself at protocol creation time.

Note, protocols do not yet use the stack in this CL but later CLs will
make use of the stack from protocols.
