Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next 1/2] ip: xfrm: support "external" (`collect_md`) mode in xfrm interfaces

Support for collect metadata mode was introduced in kernel commit
abc340b38ba2 ("xfrm: interface: support collect metadata mode")

This commit adds support for creating xfrm interfaces in this
mode.

Example use:

ip link add ipsec1 type xfrm external
