[libbsd 2/7] Add the MSG_TLSAPPDATA flag to indicate "return ENXIO" for non-application TLS data records.

From: Rick Macklem <rmacklem at FreeBSD.org>

The kernel RPC cannot process non-application data records when
using TLS. It must to an upcall to a userspace daemon that will
call SSL_read() to process them.

This patch adds a new flag called MSG_TLSAPPDATA that the kernel
RPC can use to tell sorecieve() to return ENXIO instead of a non-application
data record, when that is what is at the top of the receive queue.
I put the code in #ifdef KERN_TLS/#endif, although it will build without
that, so that it is recognized as only useful when KERN_TLS is enabled.
The alternative to doing this is to have the kernel RPC re-queue the
non-application data message after receiving it, but that seems more
complicated and might introduce message ordering issues when there
are multiple non-application data records one after another.

I do not know what, if any, changes will be required to support TLS1.3.
