It is annoying to add new skb drop reasons to 'enum skb_drop_reason'
and TRACE_SKB_DROP_REASON in trace/event/skb.h, and it's easy to forget
to add the new reasons we added to TRACE_SKB_DROP_REASON.
TRACE_SKB_DROP_REASON is used to convert drop reason of type number
to string. For now, the string we passed to user space is exactly the
same as the name in 'enum skb_drop_reason' with a 'SKB_DROP_REASON_'
prefix. Therefore, we can use 'auto-generation' to generate these
drop reasons to string at build time.
The new source 'dropreason_str.c' will be auto generated during build
time, which contains the string array
'const char * const drop_reasons[]'.

As the skb drop reasons are getting more and more, move the enum
'skb_drop_reason' and related function to the standalone header
'dropreason.h', as Jakub Kicinski suggested.
