Linux supports 'MPTCP_PM_CMD_SET_FLAGS' since v5.12, and this control has
recently been extended to allow setting flags for a given endpoint id.
Although there is no use for changing 'signal' or 'subflow' flags, it can
be helpful to set/clear the backup bit on existing endpoints: add the 'ip
mptcp endpoint change <...>' command for this purpose.
