A single netlink request can result in multiple response datagrams. We
process multiple response datagrams in some circumstances, but there are
cases where we exit early and will leave remaining datagrams in the queue.
These will be flushed in nl_send() before we send another request.
This is confusing, and not what we need to reliably check for errors from
netlink operations. So, instead, make sure we always process all the
response datagrams whenever we send a request (excepting fatal errors).
In most cases this is just a matter of avoiding early exits from nl_foreach
loops. nl_route_dup() is a bit trickier, because we need to retain all the
routes we're going to try to copy in a single buffer. Here we instead use
a secondary buffer to flush any remaining datagrams, and report an error
if there are any additional routes in those datagrams .

In most cases where processing response messages, we expect only one type
of message (excepting NLMSG_DONE or NLMSG_ERROR), and so we need a test
and continue to skip anything else. Add a helper macro to do this.
This also fixes a bug in nl_get_ext_if() where we didn't have such a test
and if we got a message other than RTM_NEWROUTE we would have parsed
its contents as nonsense.
Also add a warning message if we get such an unexpected message type, which

Currently nl_req() sends the request, and receives a single response
datagram which we then process. However, a single request can result in
multiple response datagrams. That happens nearly all the time for DUMP
requests, where the 'DONE' message usually comes in a second datagram after
the NEW{LINK|ADDR|ROUTE} messages. It can also happen if there are just
too many objects to dump in a single datagram.
Allow our netlink code to process multiple response datagrams by splitting
nl_req() into three different helpers: nl_send() just sends a request,
without getting a response. nl_status() checks a single message to see if
it indicates the end of the reponses for our request. nl_next() moves onto
the next response message, whether it's in a datagram we already received
or we need to recv() a new one. We also add a 'for'-style macro to use
these to step through every response message to a request across multiple
datagrams.
While we're at it, be more thourough with checking that our sequence
numbers are in sync.

So far we never checked for errors reported on netlink operations via
NLMSG_ERROR messages. This has led to several subtle and tricky to debug
situations which would have been obvious if we knew that certain netlink
operations had failed.
Introduce a nl_do() helper that performs netlink "do" operations (that is
making a single change without retreiving complex information) with much
more thorough error checking. As well as returning an error code if we
get an NLMSG_ERROR message, we also check for unexpected behaviour in
several places. That way if we've made a mistake in our assumptions about
how netlink works it should result in a clear error rather than some subtle
misbehaviour.
We update those calls to nl_req() that can use the new wrapper to do so.
We will extend those to better handle errors in future. We don't touch
non-"do" operations for now, those are a bit trickier.

Netlink messages have a sequence number that's used to match requests to
responses. It mostly doesn't matter what it is as long as it monotonically
increases, so we just use a global counter which we advance with each
request.
However, we start this counter at 0, so our very first request has sequence
number 0, which is usually reserved for asynchronous messages from the
kernel which aren't in response to a specific request. Since we don't (for
now) use such async messages, this doesn't really matter, but it's not
good practce. So start the sequence at 1 instead.

nl_req() is designed to handle a single netlink request message: it only
receives a single reply datagram for the request, and only waits for a
single NLMSG_DONE or NLMSG_ERROR message at the beginning to clear out
things from previous requests.
However, in both nl_addr_dup() and nl_route_dup() we can send multiple
request messages as a single datagram, with a single nl_req() call.
This can easily mean that the replies nl_req() collects get out of
sync with requests. We only get away with this because after we call
these functions we don't make any netlink calls where we need to parse
the replies.
This is fragile, so alter nl_*_dup() to make an nl_req() call for each
address it is adding in the target namespace.
For nl_route_dup() this fixes an additional minor problem: because
routes can have dependencies, some of the route add requests might
fail on the first attempt, so we need to repeat the requests a number
of times. When we did that, we weren't updating the sequence number
on each new attempt. This works, but not updating the sequence number
for each new request isn't ideal. Now that we're making the requests
one at a time, it's easier to make sure we update the sequence number
each time.

nl_link() performs a number of functions: it can bring links up, set MAC
address and MTU and also retrieve the existing MAC. This makes for a small
number of lines of code, but high conceptual complexity: it's quite hard
to follow what's going on both in nl_link() itself and it's also not very
obvious which function its callers are intending to use.
Clarify this, by splitting nl_link() into nl_link_up(), nl_link_set_mac(),
and nl_link_get_mac(). The first brings up a link, optionally setting the
MTU, the others get or set the MAC address.
This fixes an arguable bug in pasta_ns_conf(): it looks as though that was
intended to retrieve the guest MAC whether or not c->pasta_conf_ns is set.
However, it only actually does so in the !c->pasta_conf_ns case: the fact
that we set up==1 means we would only ever set, never get, the MAC in the
nl_link() call in the other path. We get away with this because the MAC
will quickly be discovered once we receive packets on the tap interface.
Still, it's neater to always get the MAC address here.

IPv4 Default Route Does Not Propagate to Pasta Containers on Hetzner VPSes
configuring the default gateway won't work without a gateway-less
route (specifying the output interface only), because the default
gateway is, somewhat dubiously, not on the same subnet as the
container.
This is a similar case to the one covered by commit 7656a6f888
("conf: Adjust netmask on mismatch between IPv4 address/netmask and
gateway"), and I'm not exactly proud of that workaround.
We also have:

pasta does not work with tap-style interface
for which, eventually, we should be able to configure a gateway-less
route in the target namespace.
Introduce different operation modes for nl_route(), including a new
NL_DUP one, not exposed yet, which simply parrots back to the kernel
the route dump for a given interface from the outer namespace, fixing
up flags and interface indices on the way, and requesting to add the
same routes in the target namespace, on the interface we manage.
For n routes we want to duplicate, send n identical netlink requests
including the full dump: routes might depend on each other and the
kernel processes RTM_NEWROUTE messages sequentially, not atomically,
and repeating the full dump naturally resolves dependencies without
the need to actually calculate them.
I'm not kidding, it actually works pretty well.

In pasta_wait_for_ns(), open() failing with ENOENT is expected: we're
busy-looping until the network namespace appears. But any other
failure is not something we're going to recover from: return right
away if we don't get either success or ENOENT.
Now that pasta_wait_for_ns() can actually fail, handle that in
pasta_start_ns() by reporting the issue and exiting.
Looping on EPERM, when pasta doesn't actually have the permissions to
join a given namespace, isn't exactly a productive thing to do.

If pasta spawns a child process while running as UID 0, which is only
allowed from a non-init namespace, we need to keep CAP_SETFCAP before
pasta_start_ns() is called: otherwise, starting from Linux 5.12, we
won't be able to update /proc/self/uid_map with the intended mapping
(from 0 to 0). See user_namespaces(7).

If we want /proc contents to be consistent after pasta spawns a child
process in a new PID namespace (only for operation without a
pre-existing namespace), we need to mount /proc after the clone(2)
call with CLONE_NEWPID, and we enable the child to do that by
passing, in the same call, the CLONE_NEWNS flag, as described by
pid_namespaces(7).
This is not really a remount: in fact, passing MS_REMOUNT to mount(2)
would make the call fail. We're in another mount namespace now, so
it's a fresh mount that has the effect of hiding the existing one.
