While tap_send_frames_passt() has returned that information since b62ed9ca

...so that we'll retry sending them, instead of more-or-less silently

It might be argued that dropping frames is part of the expected TCP

eventually retransmit them.
But we don't need the receiver to tell us (by the way of duplicate or
missing ACKs) that we couldn't send them: we already know as
sendmsg() reports that. This seems to considerably increase
throughput stability and throughput itself for TCP connections with
default wmem_max values.
Unfortunately, the 16 bits left as padding in the frame descriptors

This actually introduces a bug which is vanishingly unlikely to hit in

large file descriptor number for fd_tap or fd_tap_listen it could overflow
into bits that overlap with the 'proto' field in epoll_ref. With some
very bad luck this could mean that we mistakenly think an event on a
regular socket is an event on fd_tap or fd_tap_listen.
More practically, using different (but overlapping) fields of the
epoll_data means we can't unify dispatch for the various different objects

* The case of a passed in fd (--fd) isn't relevant
* We don't even call this for pasta mode
* We will never re-call tap_sock_unix_init() because we never clear

When we receive packets from the tap side, we update the addr_seen fields
to reflect the last known address of the guest or ns. For ip4.addr_seen
we, sensibly, only update if the address we've just seen isn't 0 (0.0.0.0).
This case can occur during early DHCP transactions.
We have no equivalent case for IPv6. We're less likely to hit this,
because DHCPv6 uses link-local addresses, however we can see an source
address of :: with certain multicast operations. This can bite us if we
try to make an incoming connection very early after starting pasta with
--config-net: we may have only seen some of those multicast packets,
updated addr_seen to :: and not had any "real" packets to update it to a
global address. I've seen this with some of the avocado test conversions.
In any case, it can never make sense to update addr_seen to ::, so
explicitly exclude that case.
