wireless: review packet dup and tag clearing is carried out at the proper places #1174

Description

@mgonzalezlopezudc

Packet dup and tag clearing must be carried out at the proper places in wireless models, like it already happens for wired interfaces.

When the transmitter puts a packet on the wire or the wireless physical medium the packet should already be stripped from all packet tags to avoid leaking meta information. The PacketProtocolTag should be kept because the packet needs a protocol for dissection and display and other generic reasons. Maybe we should have a central function which strips tags for a packet. I'm not sure if we need an extension mechanism for the user to allow keeping other tags, but the default should be not keep others.
