netstack/tcp: software segmentation offload

Right now, we send each tcp packet separately, we call one system
call per-packet. This patch allows to generate multiple tcp packets
and send them by sendmmsg.

The arguable part of this CL is a way how to handle multiple headers.
This CL adds the next field to the Prepandable buffer.
