Add a helper function to get socket cookie in eBPF

Retrieve the socket cookie generated by sock_gen_cookie() from a sk_buff
with a known socket. Generates a new cookie if one was not yet set.If
the socket pointer inside sk_buff is NULL, 0 is returned. The helper
function coud be useful in monitoring per socket networking traffic
statistics and provide a unique socket identifier per namespace.
