Some msg_ubuf providers like io_uring can keep elaborated ubuf_info
reference batching and caching, so it will be of benefit to let the
network layer to optionally steal some of the cached refs.
Add UARGFL_GIFT_REF, if set the caller has at least one extra reference
that it can gift away. If the network decides to take the ref it should
clear the flag.
