pktgen: Introducing 'SHARED' flag for testing with non-shared skb 

Currently, skbs generated by pktgen always have their reference count
incremented before transmission, causing their reference count to be
always greater than 1, leading to two issues:
  1. Only the code paths for shared skbs can be tested.
  2. In certain situations, skbs can only be released by pktgen.
To enhance testing comprehensiveness, we are introducing the "SHARED"
flag to indicate whether an SKB is shared. This flag is enabled by
default, aligning with the current behavior. However, disabling this
flag allows skbs with a reference count of 1 to be transmitted.
So we can test non-shared skbs and code paths where skbs are released
within the stack.

Disable shared SKB
==================
By default, SKBs sent by pktgen are shared (user count > 1).
To test with non-shared SKBs, remove the "SHARED" flag by simply setting::
pg_set "flag !SHARED"
However, if the "clone_skb" or "burst" parameters are configured, the skb
still needs to be held by pktgen for further access. Hence the skb must be
shared.
