drivers/net/wan/hdlc: Change the default of hard_header_len to 0

Change the default value of hard_header_len in hdlc.c from 16 to 0.

Currently there are 6 HDLC protocol drivers, among them:

hdlc_raw_eth, hdlc_cisco, hdlc_ppp, hdlc_x25 set hard_header_len when
attaching the protocol, overriding the default. So this patch does not
affect them.

hdlc_raw and hdlc_fr don't set hard_header_len when attaching the
protocol. So this patch will change the hard_header_len of the HDLC
device for them from 16 to 0.

This is the correct change because both hdlc_raw and hdlc_fr don't have
header_ops, and the code in net/packet/af_packet.c expects the value of
hard_header_len to be consistent with header_ops.

In net/packet/af_packet.c, in the packet_snd function,
for AF_PACKET/DGRAM sockets it would reserve a headroom of
hard_header_len and call dev_hard_header to fill in that headroom,
and for AF_PACKET/RAW sockets, it does not reserve the headroom and
does not call dev_hard_header, but checks if the user has provided a
header of length hard_header_len (in function dev_validate_header).
