In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional
protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not
suitable to be executed over a computer network.
Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL
wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt
codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility
dilemmas.

On X32 (ILP32 using AMD64 system call ABI) and glibc,
struct timespec::tv_nsec is __syscall_slong_t and not a long int, see
also https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16437 and
timespec(3type). Fine, we could cast that down to long and be done
with it.
But it turns out that also time_t (not guaranteed to be equivalent to
any type) is a long long int, and there we can't downcast.
To keep it simple, cast both to long long int, and change formats to
%lli, to avoid format warnings from gcc.

If we define die() as a variadic macro, passing __VA_ARGS__ to err(),
and calling exit() outside err() itself, we can drop the workarounds
introduced in commit 36f0199f6e ("conf, tap: Silence two false
positive invalidFunctionArg from cppcheck").

openlog() can be used to set "ident" and have all the log messages
prefixed by it, but only if we call syslog() -- this is implemented
by C libraries.
We don't log messages with syslog(), though, as we have a custom
implementation to ensure we don't need dynamic memory allocation.
This means that it's perfectly useless to call openlog(), and that we
have to prefix every message we log by the identifier on our own.

Now that logging functions force printing messages to stderr before
passt forks to background, we'll have duplicate messages when running
from an interactive terminal, or if --stderr is passed, because at
some point we set LOG_PERROR in our __openlog() wrapper.
We could defer setting LOG_PERROR, but that would change option
semantics in other, unexpected ways. We could force calling
passt_vsyslog() as long as the mask is set to LOG_EMERG, but that
complicates the logic in logging functions even further.
Go the easy way for now: don't force printing to stderr with
LOG_EMERG if LOG_PERROR is already set. We should seriously consider a
rework of those logging functions at this point.

This actually leaves us with 0 uses of err(), but someone could want
to use it in the future, so we may as well leave it around.

Almost all occurences of err() are either immediately followed by
exit(EXIT_FAILURE), usage(argv[0]) (which itself then calls
exit(EXIT_FAILURE), or that is what's done immediately after returning
from the function that calls err(). Modify the errfn macro so that its
instantiations can include exit(EXIT_FAILURE) at the end, and use that
to create a new function die() that will log an error and then
exit.

Once a log file (specified on the commandline) is opened, the logging
functions will stop sending error logs to stderr, which is annoying if
passt has been started by another process that wants to collect error
messages from stderr so it can report why passt failed to start. It
would be much nicer if passt continued sending all log messages to
stderr until it daemonizes itself (at which point the process that
started passt can assume that it was started successfully).
The system log mask is set to LOG_EMERG when the process starts, and
we're already using that to do "special" logging during the period
from process start until the log level requested on the commandline is
processed (setting the log mask to something else). This period
*almost* matches with "the time before the process is daemonized"; if
we just delay setting the log mask a tiny bit, then it will match
exactly, and we can use it to determine if we need to send log
messages to stderr even when a log file has been specified and opened.
This patch delays the setting of the log mask until immediately before
the call to __daemon(). It also modifies logfn() slightly, so that it
will log to stderr any time log mask is LOG_EMERG, even if a log file
has been opened.

In some environments, such as KubeVirt pods, we might not have a
system logger available. We could choose to run in foreground, but
this takes away the convenient synchronisation mechanism derived from
forking to background when interfaces are ready.
Add optional logging to file with -l/--log-file and --log-size.
Unfortunately, this means we need to duplicate features that are more
appropriately implemented by a system logger, such as rotation. Keep
that reasonably simple, by using fallocate() with range collapsing
where supported (Linux kernel >= 3.15, extent-based ext4 and XFS) and
falling back to an unsophisticated block-by-block moving of entries
toward the beginning of the file once we reach the (mandatory) size
limit.
While at it, clarify the role of LOG_EMERG in passt.c.
