dev: Add a version of EtherTap which uses the tap driver. The object is called EtherTap (as opposed to EtherTapStub, what the former EtherTap was renamed to), and its existance is gated on the linux/if_tun.h header file existing. That's probably overly strict, but it will hopefully be minimally likely to break the build for other systems.
