tap_pasta_input() keeps reading frames from the tap device until the
buffer is full. However, this has an ugly edge case, when we get close
to buffer full, we will provide just the remaining space as a read()
buffer. If this is shorter than the next frame to read, the tap device
will truncate the frame and discard the remainder.
Adjust the code to make sure we always have room for a maximum size frame.

tap_pasta_input() has a rather confusing structure, using two gotos.
Remove these by restructuring the function to have the main loop condition
based on filling our buffer space, with errors or running out of data
treated as the exception, rather than the other way around. This allows
us to handle the EINTR which triggered the 'restart' goto with a continue.
The outer 'redo' was triggered if we completely filled our buffer, to flush
it and do another pass. This one is unnecessary since we don't (yet) use
EPOLLET on the tap device: if there's still more data we'll get another
event and re-enter the loop.
Along the way handle a couple of extra edge cases:
- Check for EWOULDBLOCK as well as EAGAIN for the benefit of any future
ports where those might not have the same value
- Detect EOF on the tap device and exit in that case

When tap_passt_input() gets an error from recv() it (correctly) does not
print any error message for EINTR, EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK. However in all
three cases it returns from the function. That makes sense for EAGAIN and
EWOULDBLOCK, since we then want to wait for the next EPOLLIN event before
trying again. For EINTR, however, it makes more sense to retry immediately
- as it stands we're likely to get a renewer EPOLLIN event immediately in
that case, since we're using level triggered signalling.
So, handle EINTR separately by immediately retrying until we succeed or
get a different type of error.

Because the Unix socket to qemu is a stream socket, we have no guarantee
of where the boundaries between recv() calls will lie. Typically they
will lie on frame boundaries, because that's how qemu will send then, but
we can't rely on it.
Currently we handle this case by detecting when we have received a partial
frame and performing a blocking recv() to get the remainder, and only then
processing the frames. Change it so instead we save the partial frame
persistently and include it as the first thing processed next time we
receive data from the socket. This handles a number of (unlikely) cases
which previously would not be dealt with correctly:
* If qemu sent a partial frame then waited some time before sending the
remainder, previously we could block here for an unacceptably long time
* If qemu sent a tiny partial frame (< 4 bytes) we'd leave the loop without
doing the partial frame handling, which would put us out of sync with
the stream from qemu
* If a the blocking recv() only received some of the remainder of the
frame, not all of it, we'd return leaving us out of sync with the
stream again
Caveat: This could memmove() a moderate amount of data (ETH_MAX_MTU). This
is probably acceptable because it's an unlikely case in practice. If
necessary we could mitigate this by using a true ring buffer.

The Qemu socket protocol consists of a 32-bit frame length in network (BE)
order, followed by the Ethernet frame itself. As far as I can tell,
frames can be any length, with no particular alignment requirement. This
means that although pkt_buf itself is aligned, if we have a frame of odd
length, frames after it will have their frame length at an unaligned
address.
Currently we load the frame length by just casting a char pointer to
(uint32_t *) and loading. Some platforms will generate a fatal trap on
such an unaligned load. Even if they don't casting an incorrectly aligned
pointer to (uint32_t *) is undefined behaviour, strictly speaking.
Introduce a new helper to safely load a possibly unaligned value here. We
assume that the compiler is smart enough to optimize this into nothing on
platforms that provide performant unaligned loads. If that turns out not
to be the case, we can look at improvements then.

Currently we set EPOLLET (edge trigger) on the epoll flags for the
connected Qemu Unix socket. It's not clear that there's a reason for
doing this: for TCP sockets we need to use EPOLLET, because we leave data
in the socket buffers for our flow control handling. That consideration
doesn't apply to the way we handle the qemu socket however.
Furthermore, using EPOLLET causes additional complications:
1) We don't set EPOLLET when opening /dev/net/tun for pasta mode, however
we *do* set it when using pasta mode with --fd. This inconsistency
doesn't seem to have broken anything, but it's odd.
2) EPOLLET requires that tap_handler_passt() loop until all data available
is read (otherwise we may have data in the buffer but never get an event
causing us to read it). We do that with a rather ugly goto.
Worse, our condition for that goto appears to be incorrect. We'll only
loop if rem is non-zero, which will only happen if we perform a blocking
recv() for a partially received frame. We'll only perform that second
recv() if the original recv() resulted in a partially read frame. As
far as I can tell the original recv() could end on a frame boundary
(never triggering the second recv()) even if there is additional data in
the socket buffer. In that circumstance we wouldn't goto redo and could
leave unprocessed frames in the qemu socket buffer indefinitely.
This doesn't seem to have caused any problems in practice, but since
there's no obvious reason to use EPOLLET here anyway, we might as well
get rid of it.

If we receive a too-short or too-long frame from the QEMU socket, currently
we try to skip it and carry on. That sounds sensible on first blush, but
probably isn't wise in practice. If this happens, either (a) qemu has done
something seriously unexpected, or (b) we've received corrupt data over a
Unix socket. Or more likely (c), we have a bug elswhere which has put us
out of sync with the stream, so we're trying to read something that's not a
frame length as a frame length.
Neither (b) nor (c) is really salvageable with the same stream. Case (a)
might be ok, but we can no longer be confident qemu won't do something else
we can't cope with.
So, instead of just skipping the frame and trying to carry on, log an error
and close the socket. As a bonus, establishing firm bounds on l2len early
will allow simplifications to how we deal with the case where a partial
frame is recv()ed.

In fact, tcp_tap_handler() doesn't take an index and always looks at packet
0 of the sequence, except when it calls tcp_data_from_tap() to process
data packets. It appears to be written with the idea that the struct pool
is a queue, from which it consumes packets as it processes them, but that's
not how the pool data structure works - they are more like an array of
packets.
We only get away with this, because setup packets for TCP tend to come in
separate batches (because we need to reply in between) and so we only get
a bunch of packets for the same connection together when they're data
packets (tcp_data_from_tap() has its own loop through packets).
Correct this by adding an index parameter to tcp_tap_handler() and altering
the loops in tap.c to step through the pool properly.

l3_len was calculated from the ethernet frame size, and it
was assumed to be equal to the length stored in an IP packet.
But if the ethernet frame is padded, then l3_len calculated
that way can only be used as a bound check to validate the
length stored in an IP header. It should not be used for
calculating the l4_len.
This patch makes sure the small padded ethernet frames are
properly processed, by trusting the length stored in an IP
header.

Because packets sent on the tap interface will always be going to the
guest/namespace, we more-or-less know what address they'll be going to. So
we pre-fill this destination address in our header buffers for IPv4. We
can't do the same for IPv6 because we could need either the global or
link-local address for the guest. In future we're going to want more
flexibility for the destination address, so this pre-filling will get in
the way.
Change the flow so we always fill in the IPv4 destination address for each
packet, rather than prefilling it from proto_update_l2_buf(). In fact for
TCP we already redundantly filled the destination for each packet anyway.

The tap code passes the IPv4 or IPv6 destination address of packets it
receives to the protocol specific code. Currently that protocol code
doesn't use the source address, but we want it to in future. So, in
preparation, pass the IPv4/IPv6 source address of tap packets to those
functions as well.
