Fix: network instrumentation handling of corrupted TCP headers
A malformed packet may contain a valid IPv4/IPv6 header, but an
inconsistent TCP header. As a result, the trace contains a fully
formed IPv4/IPv6 header, including the "protocol" or "nexthdr"
fields indicating TCP, but no following TCP header.
This scenario leads to an unreadable CTF trace, because the
trace viewer expects a TCP header, but instead gets the next
event.
Therefore, using the IP header fields as selector for the
transport layer variant is not the right approach: introduce
our own selector field, which allows to properly deal with this
corner-case.
