Netperf with the flag --enable-demo set for Homebrew users on macOS

Why this exists

When you install the default homebrew version of netperf, the flag --enable-demo is not set by default.

If you run a tool like Flent that requires this flag to be set, it will end up throwing an error if you use the default Homebrew package.

The maintainer of Flent create a PR for Homebrew to address this for macOS users, but the Homebrew dev team felt this should be handled upstream. Hewlett Packard, the maintainer of Netperf, has not yet made a release that contains the needed fix. You can see the Github issue here.

What this does

This is a slightly modifed formulae that does two things differently than the original.

1. Removes inline from two different places in the src/netlib.c file.

2. Adds the flag --enable-demo during compiling
