PacketSocketFactory is added in PacketSocketHelper if you want to only packet
sockets on your node. The reason it is also added to a node from
InternetStackHelper is that we wanted to make InternetStackHelper add all the
things it could by default.

If you want to add a flag to InternetStackHelper to disable this feature, I
would be fine with that. Removing it altogether would be much less desirable
because if a user relies on InternetStackHelper to add it, he will figure out
that it is not there anymore only at runtime with a less-than-helpful message.

Updating the InternetStackHelper::Install method documentation to describe that
the PacketSocket is also aggregated would also be nice.
