Locally generated packet go through lookup/load-balance - locally-generated is an attribute of the packet and checked where necessary
Add a flag to the vnet_buffer to indicate a packet is locally originated. Then in the rewrite nodes we can check this flag and not perform the TTL decrement. The switch path cost is expected to be fractions of a clock - the flags will be hot in the cache.
The cehcks are necessary to due the requirements that VPP must be able to emit an IP packet with TTL=255.
