As Heinz-Juergen Oertel pointed out 'CAN error frames' are a already defined
term for the CAN protocol violation indication on the wire.

To avoid confusion with the error messages created by CAN drivers available
via CAN RAW sockets update the documentation and change the naming from
'error frames' to 'error messages' or 'error message frames'.

CAN has no addressing scheme. It is currently impossible for userspace
to tell is a received CAN frame comes from another process on the local
host, or from a remote CAN device.

This patch add support for userspace applications to distinguish between
'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic. The distinction is made by returning
flags in msg->msg_flags in the call to recvmsg().

The added documentation explains the introduced flags.
