The previous approach wasn't really robust: adding a -netdev option
without libvirt knowing could result in clashes with other devices.
Drop network devices from command line, check the available busses
and addresses from all -device options according to the -machine
parameter, and add a virtio-net device using an available address
or bus. Then, add a corresponding -netdev socket option.

If a socket netdev parameter is already passed, don't touch the command
line. If it's not, add it, taking the id= reference from a netdev=
parameter, if any.

The name-guessing loop should iterate over names, not single
characters. Also add /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm as full path for
execvp(): execvp() won't find it if it's not in $PATH, which
is the reason why it shouldn't be under /usr/libexec/, but this
seems to be the case for some current version of Fedora.

Once passt forks to background, it should be guaranteed that the UNIX

It might be impractical to pass options to qrap when using libvirt,
because the <emulator/> tag expects a path to an executable, without
further arguments.
If the first argument is not a plausible socket number, and the
second argument is not a valid executable, look up a qemu command
from a list of possible names, then start it patching the command line
to include the -netdev fd= parameter corresponding to the AF_UNIX
domain socket we just opened.

This is in preparation for scatter-gather IO on the UDP receive path:
save a getsockname() syscall by setting a flag if we get the numbering
of all bound sockets in a strict sequence (expected, in practice) and
repurpose the tap buffer to be also a socket receive buffer, passing
it down to protocol handlers.

As we support UDP forwarding for packets that are sent to local
ports, we actually need some kind of connection tracking for UDP.
While at it, this commit introduces a number of vaguely related fixes
for issues observed while trying this out. In detail:
- implement an explicit, albeit minimalistic, connection tracking
for UDP, to allow usage of ephemeral ports by the guest and by
the host at the same time, by binding them dynamically as needed,
and to allow mapping address changes for packets with a loopback
address as destination
- set the guest MAC address whenever we receive a packet from tap
instead of waiting for an ARP request, and set it to broadcast on
start, otherwise DHCPv6 might not work if all DHCPv6 requests time
out before the guest starts talking IPv4
- split context IPv6 address into address we assign, global or site
address seen on tap, and link-local address seen on tap, and make
sure we use the addresses we've seen as destination (link-local
choice depends on source address). Similarly, for IPv4, split into
address we assign and address we observe, and use the address we
observe as destination
- introduce a clock_gettime() syscall right after epoll_wait() wakes
up, so that we can remove all the other ones and pass the current
timestamp to tap and socket handlers -- this is additionally needed
by UDP to time out bindings to ephemeral ports and mappings between
loopback address and a local address
- rename sock_l4_add() to sock_l4(), no semantic changes intended
- include <arpa/inet.h> in passt.c before kernel headers so that we
can use <netinet/in.h> macros to check IPv6 address types, and
remove a duplicate <linux/ip.h> inclusion

Seen with iperf3 server on tap side: connection state is SOCK_SYN_SENT,
we haven't got an ACK from the tap yet (that's why we're not in
ESTABLISHED), but a data packet comes. Don't read this data until we
reach the ESTABLISHED state, by keeping EPOLLIN disabled until that
point.

...on a second thought, this won't really help with veth, and

Avoid a bunch of syscalls on forwarding paths by:
- storing minimum and maximum file descriptor numbers for each
protocol, fall back to SO_PROTOCOL query only on overlaps
- allocating a larger receive buffer -- this can result in more
coalesced packets than sendmmsg() can take (UIO_MAXIOV, i.e. 1024),
so make sure we don't exceed that within a single call to protocol
tap handlers
- nesting the handling loop in tap_handler() in the receive loop,
so that we have better chances of filling our receive buffer in
fewer calls
- skipping the recvfrom() in the UDP handler on EPOLLERR -- there's
nothing to be done in that case
and while at it:
- restore the 20ms timer interval for periodic (TCP) events, I
accidentally changed that to 100ms in an earlier commit
- attempt using SO_ZEROCOPY for UDP -- if it's not available,
sendmmsg() will succeed anyway
- fix the handling of the status code from sendmmsg(), if it fails,
we'll try to discard the first message, hence return 1 from the
UDP handler

It looks like some versions of ISC's IPv6 dhclient not only discard
the DNS Recursive Name Server option if other options (Domain Search
List? FQDN?) are absent, but they also drop existing entries
configured via SLAAC from /etc/resolv.conf.
Don't pass option 23 until I figure this out, it's anyway redundant
as we pass DNS information via SLAAC (RFC 8106).

dhcpv6_opt() needs to subtract option length _before_ returning,

The NotOnLink status code needs to be appended to the existing IA
content, because if we omit the requested addresses in the reply,
ISC's dhclient handles it as a NoAddrsAvail response.
Also fix length accounting (we would send a bunch of zeroes after
the IA otherwise), and print an informational message with the
requested address, if it's not appropriate for the link.

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.
