087b5f4dbb LICENSES: Add license text files, add missing notices, fix SPDX tags
SPDX tags don't replace license files. Some notices were missing and
some tags were not according to the SPDX specification, too.

Now reuse --lint from the REUSE tool (https://reuse.software/) passes.

19d254bbbb passt: Add support for multiple instances in different network namespaces
...sharing the same filesystem. Instead of a fixed path for the UNIX
domain socket, passt now uses a path with a counter, probing for
existing instances, and picking the first free one.

The demo script is updated accordingly -- it can now be started several
times to create multiple namespaces with an instance of passt each,
with addressing reflecting separate subnets, and NDP proxying between
them.

ef25cb39a9 passt: Set soft limit for number of open files to hard limit
Default value for /proc/sys/fs/nr_open is 2^20, which is more than
enough: set this hard limit as current (soft) limit on start, and
drop the 'ulimit -n' from the demo script.

1d807fc720 passt: Introduce ICMP echo proxy
It's nice to be able to confirm connectivity using ICMP or ICMPv6
echo requests, and "ping" sockets on Linux (IPPROTO_ICMP datagram)
allow us to do that without any special capability.

8bca388e8a passt: Assorted fixes from "fresh eyes" review
A bunch of fixes not worth single commits at this stage, notably:

- make buffer, length parameter ordering consistent in ARP, DHCP,
  NDP handlers

- strict checking of buffer, message and option length in DHCP
  handler (a malicious client could have easily crashed it)

- set up forwarding for IPv4 and IPv6, and masquerading with nft for
  IPv4, from demo script

- get rid of separate slow and fast timers, we don't save any
  overhead that way

- stricter checking of buffer lengths as passed to tap handlers

- proper dequeuing from qemu socket back-end: I accidentally trashed
  messages that were bundled up together in a single tap read
  operation -- the length header tells us what's the size of the next
  frame, but there's no apparent limit to the number of messages we
  get with one single receive

- rework some bits of the TCP state machine, now passive and active
  connection closes appear to be robust -- introduce a new
  FIN_WAIT_1_SOCK_FIN state indicating a FIN_WAIT_1 with a FIN flag
  from socket

- streamline TCP option parsing routine

- track TCP state changes to stderr (this is temporary, proper
  debugging and syslogging support pending)

- observe that multiplying a number by four might very well change
  its value, and this happens to be the case for the data offset
  from the TCP header as we check if it's the same as the total
  length to find out if it's a duplicated ACK segment

- recent estimates suggest that the duration of a millisecond is
  closer to a million nanoseconds than a thousand of them, this
  trend is now reflected into the timespec_diff_ms() convenience
  routine

105b916361 passt: New design and implementation with native Layer 4 sockets
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.
