ca0c33ae5b Tweak dhclient arguments for readability
A number of tests and examples use dhclient in both IPv4 and IPv6 modes.
We use "dhclient -6" for IPv6, but usually just "dhclient" for IPv4.  Add
an explicit "-4" argument to make it more clear and explicit.

In addition, when dhclient is run from within pasta it usually won't be
"real" root, and so will not have access to write the default global pid
file.  This results in a mostly harmless but irritating error:
    Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: Permission denied
We can avoid that by using the --no-pid flag to dhclient.

2320ac3349 Don't abbreviate ip(8) arguments in examples and tests
ip(8)'s ability to take abbreviated arguments (e.g. "li sh" instead of
"link show") is very handy when using it interactively, but it doesn't make
for very readable scripts and examples when shown that way.

0ebaac9747 test/perf: Work-around for virtio_net hang before long streams from guest
I didn't have time to investigate the root cause for the virtio_net
TX hang yet. Add a quick work-around for the moment being.

70c05e678e test/perf/passt_tcp: Drop iperf3 window size for host-to-guest tests
With a recent 5.15 kernel, passing a huge window size to iperf3 with
lower MTUs makes iperf3 stop sending packets after a few seconds --
I haven't investigated this in detail, but the window size will be
adjusted dynamically anyway and not passing it doesn't actually
affect throughput, so simply drop the option.

6257a2752e test/perf: Try sourcing maximum scaling frequency from cpufreq
On most recent CPUs, that's a better indication of all-core turbo
frequency, or non-turbo frequency, than /proc/cpuinfo.

7aaff3387a perf/passt_tcp: Don't exceed typical L3 cache sizes with buffers
...we might see misleading rate drops with larger MTUs otherwise.

Get it to work also in nested virtualisation environments.
