Getting a SLAAC address takes a little while because the kernel must
complete Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) before marking the address as
ready. In several places we have an explicit 'sleep 2' to wait for that
to complete.
Fixed length delays are never a great idea, although this one is pretty
solid. Still, it would be better to explicitly wait for DAD to complete
in case of long delays (which might happen on slow emulated hosts, or with
heavy load), and to speed the tests up if DAD completes quicker.
Replace the fixed sleeps with a loop waiting for DAD to complete. We do
this by looping waiting for all tentative addresses to disappear.

When we retrieve or copy host addresses we can include deprecated
addresses, which is not what we want. Adjust our logic to exclude them.
Similarly our tests can retrieve deprecated addresses, so exclude them
there too.
I hit this in practice because my router sometimes temporarily advertises
an fd00:: prefix before the real delegated IPv6 prefix. The deprecated
address can hang around for some time messing up my tests.

If we run passt nested (a guest connected via passt to a guest
connected via passt to the host), the first guest (L1) typically has
two IPv6 addresses on the same interface: one formed from the prefix
assigned via SLAAC, and another one assigned via DHCPv6 (to match the
address on the host).
When we select addresses for comparison, in this case, we have
multiple global unicast addresses -- again, on the same interface.
Selecting the first reported one on both host and guest is not
entirely correct (in theory, the order might differ), but works
reasonably well.
Use the trick from 5beef08597 ("test: Only select a single
interface or gateway in tests") to ask jq(1) for the first address
returned by the query.

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.

Many of our tests are based around performing transfers of sample data
across passt/pasta created links. The data flow here can be a bit
hard to follow since, e.g. we create a file transfer it to the guest,
then transfer it back to the host across several different tests.
This also means that the test cases aren't independent of each other.
Because we don't have the original file available at both ends in some
cases, we compare them by generating md5sums at each end and comparing
them, which is a bit complicated.
Make a number of changes to simplify this:
1. Pre-generate the sample data files as a test asset, rather than
building them on the fly during the tests proper
2. Include the sample data files in the mbuto guest image
3. Because we have good copies of the original data available in all
contexts, we can now simply use 'cmp' to check if the transfer
has worked, avoiding md5sum complications.
4. Similarly we can always use the original copy of the sample data
on the send side of each transfer, meaning that the tests become
more independent of each other.

Now that the back end allows passt/pasta to use different external
interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6, use that to do the right thing in the case
that the host has IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity via different interfaces.
If the user hasn't explicitly chosen an interface, separately search for
a suitable external interface for each protocol.
As a bonus, this substantially simplifies the external interface probe. It
also eliminates a subtle confusing case where in some circumstances we
would pick the first interface in interface index order, and sometimes in
order of routes returned from netlink. On some network configurations that
could cause tests to fail, because the logic in the tests was subtly
different (it always used route order).

By default, passt itself attaches to the first host interface with a
default route. However, when determining the host interface name the tests
implicitly select the *last* host interface: they use a jq expression which
will list all interfaces with default routes, but the way output detection
works in the scripts, it will only pick up the last line.
If there are multiple interfaces with default routes on the host, and they
each have a different address, this can cause spurious test failures.

Commit 41c02e10 ("tests: Use nmap-ncat instead of openbsd netcat for pasta
tests") updated the pasta tests to use the nmap version of ncat instead of
the openbsd version, for greater portability.
For some upcoming changes, however, we'll be wanting to use socat.
"socat" can do everything "ncat" can and more, so let's move all the
tests using host tools (either directly on the host or via mbuto
generated images) to using socat instead.

David reports that dhclient-script(8) on Fedora needs a number of
binaries that are not included in PROGS of the current mbuto profile,
and we would also need to include hostnamectl(1) there, which will
fail without a systemd init.
Embed a minimal script for dhclient(8) in the profile itself, written
to /sbin/dhclient-script at boot, to just check what we need to check
out of DHCP and DHCPv6 functionality.
While at it, drop busybox and logger from PROGS, as we don't need them,
and add hostname(1). While DHCP option 12 isn't supported yet by the
DHCP implementation in passt, we should probably add it soon.
Note: owing to the simplicity of this script, we now need to bring up
the interface before starting dhclient: add this in test scripts where
it's not the case yet.

note that we need to bring up the interface before starting dhclient
A number of tests and examples use dhclient in both IPv4 and IPv6 modes.
We use "dhclient -6" for IPv6, but usually just "dhclient" for IPv4. Add
an explicit "-4" argument to make it more clear and explicit.
In addition, when dhclient is run from within pasta it usually won't be
"real" root, and so will not have access to write the default global pid
file. This results in a mostly harmless but irritating error:
Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: Permission denied
We can avoid that by using the --no-pid flag to dhclient.

ip(8)'s ability to take abbreviated arguments (e.g. "li sh" instead of
