[RFC PATCH 06/13] can: slcan: allow to send commands to the adapter

[Dario Binacchi]

This is a preparation patch for the upcoming support to change the
bitrate via ip tool, reset the adapter error states via the ethtool API
and, more generally, send commands to the adapter.

Since some commands (e. g. setting the bitrate) will be sent before
calling the open_candev(), the netif_running() will return false and so
a new flag bit (i. e. SLF_XCMD) for serial transmission has to be added.
