This implementation, similarly to the IPv4 DHCP one, hands out a
single address, which is the same as the upstream address for the
host.
This avoids the need for address translation as long as the client
runs a DHCPv6 client. The NDP "Managed" flag is now set in Router
Advertisements.

It's nice to be able to confirm connectivity using ICMP or ICMPv6
echo requests, and "ping" sockets on Linux (IPPROTO_ICMP datagram)
allow us to do that without any special capability.

Implement siphash routines for initial TCP sequence numbers (12 bytes
input for IPv4, 36 bytes input for IPv6), and while at it, also
functions we'll use later on for hash table indices and TCP timestamp
offsets (with 8, 20, 32 bytes of input).
Use these to set the initial sequence number, according to RFC 6528,
for connections originating either from the tap device or from
sockets.

This is a reimplementation, partially building on the earlier draft,
that uses L4 sockets (SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK_STREAM) instead of SOCK_RAW,
providing L4-L2 translation functionality without requiring any
security capability.
Conceptually, this follows the design presented at:
https://gitlab.com/abologna/kubevirt-and-kvm/-/blob/master/Networking.md
The most significant novelty here comes from TCP and UDP translation
layers. In particular, the TCP state and translation logic follows
the intent of being minimalistic, without reimplementing a full TCP
stack in either direction, and synchronising as much as possible the
TCP dynamic and flows between guest and host kernel.
Another important introduction concerns addressing, port translation
and forwarding. The Layer 4 implementations now attempt to bind on
all unbound ports, in order to forward connections in a transparent
way.
While at it:
- the qemu 'tap' back-end can't be used as-is by qrap anymore,
because of explicit checks now introduced in qemu to ensure that
the corresponding file descriptor is actually a tap device. For
this reason, qrap now operates on a 'socket' back-end type,
accounting for and building the additional header reporting
frame length
- provide a demo script that sets up namespaces, addresses and
routes, and starts the daemon. A virtual machine started in the
network namespace, wrapped by qrap, will now directly interface
with passt and communicate using Layer 4 sockets provided by the
host kernel.

With this, merd provides a fully functional IPv4 environment to
guests, requiring a single capability, CAP_NET_RAW.

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.
