[ARP]: Introduce the arp_hdr_len helper.

Browse Source 
There are some place, that calculate the ARP header length. These
calculations are correct, but 
 a) some operate with "magic" constants,
 b) enlarge the code length (sometimes at the cost of coding style),
 c) are not informative from the first glance.

The proposal is to introduce a helper, that includes all the good
sides of these calculations.
