[c-nsp] IPSEC Transport mode

In transport mode the original header is used, a new header isn't installed.
This works very well when using GRE tunnels, since both the GRE and IPsec
are initiated by the same device. You won't be able to do transport mode on
the ASA, at least I don't think so. You will need routers at each end.
