ipv4: add option to drop gratuitous ARP packets

Browse Source 
In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be ARP proxies
that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests.
To prevent gratuitous ARP frames on the shared medium from being
a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them.

Enable this by providing an option called "drop_gratuitous_arp".

Default: off (0)
drop_gratuitous_arp - BOOLEAN
Drop all gratuitous ARP frames, for example if there's a known
good ARP proxy on the network and such frames need not be used
(or in the case of 802.11, must not be used to prevent attacks.)
Default: off (0)

Allows you to write a number, which can be used as required.
