ip4.gw conflates 3 conceptually different things, which (for now) have the
same value:
1. The router/gateway address as seen by the guest
2. An address to NAT to the host with --no-map-gw isn't specified
3. An address to use as source when nothing else makes sense
Case 3 occurs in two situations:
a) for our DHCP responses - since they come from passt internally there's
no naturally meaningful address for them to come from
b) for forwarded connections coming from an address that isn't guest
accessible (localhost or the guest's own address).
(b) occurs even with --no-map-gw, and the expected behaviour of forwarding
local connections requires it.
For IPv6 role (3) is now taken by ip6.our_tap_ll (which usually has the
same value as ip6.gw). For future flexibility we may want to make this
"address of last resort" different from the gateway address, so split them
logically for IPv4 as well.
Specifically, add a new ip4.our_tap_addr field for the address with this
role, and initialise it to ip4.gw for now. Unlike IPv6 where we can always
get a link-local address, we might not be able to get a (non 0.0.0.0)
address here (e.g. if the host is disconnected or only has a point to point
link with no gateway address). In that case we have to disable forwarding
of inbound connections with guest-inaccessible source addresses.

We usually avoid NAT, but in a few cases we need to apply address
translations. For inbound connections that happens for addresses which
make sense to the host but are either inaccessible, or mean a different
location from the guest's point of view.
Add some helper functions to determine such addresses, and use them in
fwd_nat_from_host(). In doing so clarify some of the reasons for the
logic. We'll also have further use for these helpers in future.
While we're there fix one unneccessary inconsistency between IPv4 and IPv6.
We always translated the guest's observed address, but for IPv4 we didn't
translate the guest's assigned address, whereas for IPv6 we did. Change
this to translate both in all cases for consistency.

In every place we use our_tap_ll, we only use it as a fallback if the
IPv6 gateway address is not link-local. We can avoid that conditional at
use time by doing it at initialisation of our_tap_ll instead.

c->ip6.addr_ll is not like c->ip6.addr. The latter is an address for the
guest, but the former is an address for our use on the tap link. Rename it
accordingly, to 'our_tap_ll'.

The term "forwarding address" to indicate the local-to-passt address was
well-intentioned, but ends up being kinda confusing. As discussed on a
recent call, let's try "our" instead.
(While we're there correct an error in flow_initiate_af()s comments where
we referred to parameters by the wrong name).

passt/pasta has options to redirect DNS requests from the guest to a
different server address on the host side. Currently, however, only UDP
packets to port 53 are considered "DNS requests". This ignores DNS
requests over TCP - less common, but certainly possible. It also ignores
encrypted DNS requests on port 853.
Extend the DNS forwarding logic to handle both of those cases.

Currently, we start by handling the common case, where we don't translate
the destination address, then we modify the tgt side for the special cases.
In the process we do comparisons on the tentatively set fields in tgt,
which obscures the fact that tgt should be an essentially pure function of
ini, and risks people examining fields of tgt that are not yet initialized.
To make this clearer, do all our tests on 'ini', constructing tgt from
scratch on that basis.

In addition to the struct fwd_ports used by both UDP and TCP to track
port forwarding, UDP also included an 'rdelta' field, which contained the
reverse mapping of the main port map. This was used so that we could
properly direct reply packets to a forwarded packet where we change the
destination port. This has now been taken over by the flow table: reply
packets will match the flow of the originating packet, and that gives the
correct ports on the originating side.
So, eliminate the rdelta field, and with it struct udp_fwd_ports, which
now has no additional information over struct fwd_ports.

Add logic to the fwd_nat_from_*() functions to forwarding UDP packets. The
logic here doesn't exactly match our current forwarding, since our current
forwarding has some very strange and buggy edge cases. Instead it's
attempting to replicate what appears to be the intended logic behind the
current forwarding.

Currently the code to translate host side addresses and ports to guest side
addresses and ports, and vice versa, is scattered across the TCP code.
This includes both port redirection as controlled by the -t and -T options,
and our special case NAT controlled by the --no-map-gw option.
Gather this logic into fwd_nat_from_*() functions for each input
interface in fwd.c which take protocol and address information for the
initiating side and generates the pif and address information for the
forwarded side. This performs any NAT or port forwarding needed.
We create a flow_target() helper which applies those forwarding functions
as needed to automatically move a flow from INI to TGT state.

Now that we have logging functions embedding perror() functionality,
we can make _some_ calls more terse by using them. In many places,
the strerror() calls are still more convenient because, for example,
they are used in flow debugging functions, or because the return code
variable of interest is not 'errno'.
While at it, convert a few error messages from a scant perror style
to proper failure descriptions.

When I switched from 'uname -m' to 'gcc -dumpmachine' to fetch the
architecture name for, among others, seccomp.sh, I didn't realise
that "armv6l" and "armv7l" are just Linux kernel names -- compilers
just call that "arm".
Fix the "syscalls" annotation we use to define seccomp profiles
accordingly, otherwise pasta will be terminated on sigreturn() on
armv6l and armv7l.

Currently port_fwd.[ch] contains helpers related to port forwarding,
particular automatic port forwarding. We're planning to allow much more
flexible sorts of forwarding, including both port translation and NAT based
on the flow table. This will subsume the existing port forwarding logic,
so rename port_fwd.[ch] to fwd.[ch] with matching updates to all the names
within.
