ixia: Make L3 and L4 headers optional
During testing it is sometimes useful to generate pure L2 traffic
without L3 or L4 related headers. IxNetwork TCL script was updated
to support this option.
Generic TRAFFIC array was enhanced by on/off switch for L3 and L4
headers. Thus it can be implemented by other traffic generators
in the future, if this feature will prove itself useful.
