Stefano Brivio fa2d20908d merd: Switch to AF_UNIX for qemu tap, provide wrapper ...

We can bypass a full-fledged network interface between qemu and merd by
connecting the qemu tap file descriptor to a provided UNIX domain
socket: this could be implemented in qemu eventually, qrap covers this
meanwhile.

This also avoids the need for the AF_PACKET socket towards the guest.

Description

passt implements a translation layer between a Layer-2 network interface and native Layer-4 sockets (TCP, UDP, ICMP/ICMPv6 echo) on a host. It doesn't require any capabilities or privileges, and it can be used as a simple replacement for Slirp.
