Detecting bound ports at start-up time isn't terribly useful: do this
periodically instead, if configured.
This is only implemented for TCP at the moment, UDP is somewhat more
complicated: leave a TODO there.

Until now, messages would be passed to protocol handlers in a single
batch only if they happened to be dequeued in a row. Packets
interleaved between different connections would result in multiple
calls to the same protocol handler for a single connection.
Instead, keep track of incoming packet descriptors, arrange them in
sequences, and call protocol handlers only as we completely sorted
input messages in batches.

Traffic with loopback source address will be forwarded to the direct
loopback connection in the namespace, and the tap interface is used
for the rest.

Allow to bind IPv4 and IPv6 ports to tap, namespace or init separately.
Port numbers of TCP ports that are bound in a namespace are also bound
for UDP for convenience (e.g. iperf3), and IPv4 ports are always bound
if the corresponding IPv6 port is bound (socket might not have the
IPV6_V6ONLY option set). This will also be configurable later.

Packets are received directly onto pre-cooked, static buffers
for IPv4 (with partial checksum pre-calculation) and IPv6 frames,
with pre-filled Ethernet addresses and, partially, IP headers,
and sent out from the same buffers with sendmmsg(), for both
passt and pasta (non-local traffic only) modes.

PASTA (Pack A Subtle Tap Abstraction) provides quasi-native host
connectivity to an otherwise disconnected, unprivileged network
and user namespace, similarly to slirp4netns. Given that the
implementation is largely overlapping with PASST, no separate binary
is built: 'pasta' (and 'passt4netns' for clarity) both link to
'passt', and the mode of operation is selected depending on how the
binary is invoked. Usage example:
$ unshare -rUn
# echo $$
1871759
$ ./pasta 1871759 # From another terminal
# udhcpc -i pasta0 2>/dev/null
# ping -c1 pasta.pizza
PING pasta.pizza (64.190.62.111) 56(84) bytes of data.

This entails a major rework, especially with regard to the storage of
tracked connections and to the semantics of epoll(7) references.
Indexing TCP and UDP bindings merely by socket proved to be
inflexible and unsuitable to handle different connection flows: pasta
also provides Layer-2 to Layer-2 socket mapping between init and a
separate namespace for local connections, using a pair of splice()
system calls for TCP, and a recvmmsg()/sendmmsg() pair for UDP local
bindings. For instance, building on the previous example:
# ip link set dev lo up
# iperf3 -s
$ iperf3 -c ::1 -Z -w 32M -l 1024k -P2 | tail -n4
[SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 52.3 GBytes 44.9 Gbits/sec 283 sender
[SUM] 0.00-10.43 sec 52.3 GBytes 43.1 Gbits/sec receiver
iperf Done.
epoll(7) references now include a generic part in order to
demultiplex data to the relevant protocol handler, using 24
bits for the socket number, and an opaque portion reserved for
usage by the single protocol handlers, in order to track sockets
back to corresponding connections and bindings.
A number of fixes pertaining to TCP state machine and congestion
window handling are also included here.

This is in preparation for scatter-gather IO on the UDP receive path:
save a getsockname() syscall by setting a flag if we get the numbering
of all bound sockets in a strict sequence (expected, in practice) and
repurpose the tap buffer to be also a socket receive buffer, passing
it down to protocol handlers.

As we support UDP forwarding for packets that are sent to local
ports, we actually need some kind of connection tracking for UDP.
While at it, this commit introduces a number of vaguely related fixes
for issues observed while trying this out. In detail:
- implement an explicit, albeit minimalistic, connection tracking
for UDP, to allow usage of ephemeral ports by the guest and by
the host at the same time, by binding them dynamically as needed,
and to allow mapping address changes for packets with a loopback
address as destination
- set the guest MAC address whenever we receive a packet from tap
instead of waiting for an ARP request, and set it to broadcast on
start, otherwise DHCPv6 might not work if all DHCPv6 requests time
out before the guest starts talking IPv4
- split context IPv6 address into address we assign, global or site
address seen on tap, and link-local address seen on tap, and make
sure we use the addresses we've seen as destination (link-local
choice depends on source address). Similarly, for IPv4, split into
address we assign and address we observe, and use the address we
observe as destination
- introduce a clock_gettime() syscall right after epoll_wait() wakes
up, so that we can remove all the other ones and pass the current
timestamp to tap and socket handlers -- this is additionally needed
by UDP to time out bindings to ephemeral ports and mappings between
loopback address and a local address
- rename sock_l4_add() to sock_l4(), no semantic changes intended
- include <arpa/inet.h> in passt.c before kernel headers so that we
can use <netinet/in.h> macros to check IPv6 address types, and
remove a duplicate <linux/ip.h> inclusion

Avoid a bunch of syscalls on forwarding paths by:
- storing minimum and maximum file descriptor numbers for each
protocol, fall back to SO_PROTOCOL query only on overlaps
- allocating a larger receive buffer -- this can result in more
coalesced packets than sendmmsg() can take (UIO_MAXIOV, i.e. 1024),
so make sure we don't exceed that within a single call to protocol
tap handlers
- nesting the handling loop in tap_handler() in the receive loop,
so that we have better chances of filling our receive buffer in
fewer calls
- skipping the recvfrom() in the UDP handler on EPOLLERR -- there's
nothing to be done in that case
and while at it:
- restore the 20ms timer interval for periodic (TCP) events, I
accidentally changed that to 100ms in an earlier commit
- attempt using SO_ZEROCOPY for UDP -- if it's not available,
sendmmsg() will succeed anyway
- fix the handling of the status code from sendmmsg(), if it fails,
we'll try to discard the first message, hence return 1 from the
UDP handler

Receive packets in batches from AF_UNIX, check if they can be sent
with a single syscall, and batch them up with sendmmsg() in case.
A bit rudimentary, currently only implemented for UDP, but it seems
to work.

This is a reimplementation, partially building on the earlier draft,
that uses L4 sockets (SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK_STREAM) instead of SOCK_RAW,
providing L4-L2 translation functionality without requiring any
security capability.
Conceptually, this follows the design presented at:
https://gitlab.com/abologna/kubevirt-and-kvm/-/blob/master/Networking.md
The most significant novelty here comes from TCP and UDP translation
layers. In particular, the TCP state and translation logic follows
the intent of being minimalistic, without reimplementing a full TCP
stack in either direction, and synchronising as much as possible the
TCP dynamic and flows between guest and host kernel.
Another important introduction concerns addressing, port translation
and forwarding. The Layer 4 implementations now attempt to bind on
all unbound ports, in order to forward connections in a transparent
way.
While at it:
- the qemu 'tap' back-end can't be used as-is by qrap anymore,
because of explicit checks now introduced in qemu to ensure that
the corresponding file descriptor is actually a tap device. For
this reason, qrap now operates on a 'socket' back-end type,
accounting for and building the additional header reporting
frame length
- provide a demo script that sets up namespaces, addresses and
routes, and starts the daemon. A virtual machine started in the
network namespace, wrapped by qrap, will now directly interface
with passt and communicate using Layer 4 sockets provided by the
host kernel.
