net: add mptcpStatus type

This new type will be used in the following commits.

The goal is to have a tristate, an enum with three values:

- system default (0)
- enabled
- disabled

The system default value is linked to defaultMPTCPEnabled: disabled by
default for the moment. Users will be able to force enabling/disabling
MPTCP or use the default behaviour.

This work has been co-developped by Gregory Detal
<gregory.detal@tessares.net>.

Updates #56539
