fwd: Direct inbound spliced forwards to the guest's external address

Browse Source 
In pasta mode, where addressing permits we "splice" connections, forwarding
directly from host socket to guest/container socket without any L2 or L3
processing.  This gives us a very large performance improvement when it's
possible.

Since the traffic is from a local socket within the guest, it will go over
the guest's 'lo' interface, and accordingly we set the guest side address
to be the loopback address.  However this has a surprising side effect:
sometimes guests will run services that are only supposed to be used within
the guest and are therefore bound to only 127.0.0.1 and/or ::1.  pasta's
forwarding exposes those services to the host, which isn't generally what
we want.

Correct this by instead forwarding inbound "splice" flows to the guest's
external address.

Because it's not possible to bind sockets to foreign addresses, this
bypass only applies to local connections and traffic. It also means
that the address translation differs slightly from passt mode.
Connections from loopback to loopback on the host will appear to come

\fB\-\-host-lo-to-ns-lo\fR is specified, in which case they will
appear to come from loopback in the namespace as well. The latter
behaviour used to be the default, but is usually undesirable, since it
can unintentionally expose namespace local services to the host.
