[MEDIUM] splice: set the capability on each stream_interface
The splice code did not consider compatibility between both ends
of the connection. Now we set different capabilities on each
stream interface, depending on what the protocol can splice to/from.
Right now, only TCP is supported. Thanks to this, we're now able to
automatically detect when splice() is not implemented and automatically
disable it on one end instead of reporting errors to the upper layer.
