util/cstruct: add package for decoding padded C structures (#5429)
I was working on my "dump iptables rules using only syscalls" branch and
had a bunch of C structure decoding to do. Rather than manually
calculating the padding or using unsafe trickery to actually cast
variable-length structures to Go types, I'd rather use a helper package
that deals with padding for me.

Padding rules were taken from the following article:
