linux-user: manage bind with a socket of SOCK_PACKET type.
This is obsolete, but if we want to use dhcp with an old distro (like debian etch), we need it. Some users (like dhclient) use SOCK_PACKET with AF_PACKET and the kernel allows that. packet(7) In Linux 2.0, the only way to get a packet socket was by calling socket(AF_INET, SOCK_PACKET, protocol). This is still supported but strongly deprecated. The main difference between the two methods is that SOCK_PACKET uses the old struct sockaddr_pkt to specify an inter‐ face, which doesn't provide physical layer independence. struct sockaddr_pkt { unsigned short spkt_family; unsigned char spkt_device[14]; unsigned short spkt_protocol; }; spkt_family contains the device type, spkt_protocol is the IEEE 802.3 protocol type as defined in <sys/if_ether.h> and spkt_device is the device name as a null-terminated string, for example, eth0.
