There's no value in keeping a separate timestamp for activity and for
aging of local binds, given that they have the same timeout. Reduce
that to a single timestamp, with a flag indicating the local bind.
Also use flags instead of separate int fields for loopback and
configured unicast address usage as source address.

Using events and flags instead of states makes the implementation
much more straightforward: actions are mostly centered on events
that occurred on the connection rather than states.
An example is given by the ESTABLISHED_SOCK_FIN_SENT and
FIN_WAIT_1_SOCK_FIN abominations: we don't actually care about
which side started closing the connection to handle closing of
connection halves.
Split out the spliced implementation, as it has very little in
common with the "regular" TCP path.
Refactor things here and there to improve clarity. Add helpers
to trace where resets and flag settings come from.
No functional changes intended.

Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for
distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with
specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains
from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines.
For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple
wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's
available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.

It looks like glibc commonly implements clock_gettime(2) with
clock_gettime64(), and uses recv() instead of recvfrom(), send()
instead of sendto(), and sigreturn() instead of rt_sigreturn() on
armv6l and armv7l.
Adjust the list of system calls for armv6l and armv7l accordingly.

That test fails sometimes, it looks like iperf3 is still sending

This should be convenient for users managing filesystem-bound network
namespaces: monitor the base directory of the namespace and exit if
the namespace given as PATH or NAME target is deleted. We can't add
an inotify watch directly on the namespace directory, that won't work
with nsfs.
Add an option to disable this behaviour, --no-netns-quit.

In pasta mode, when we get data from sockets and write it as single
frames to the tap device, we batch receive operations considerably,
and then (conceptually) split the data in many smaller writes.
It looked like an obvious choice, but performance is actually better
if we receive data in many small frame-sized recvmsg()/recvmmsg().
The syscall overhead with the previous behaviour, observed by perf,
comes predominantly from write operations, but receiving data in
shorter chunks probably improves cache locality by a considerable
amount.

Likely for testing purposes only: allow connections from host to
guest or namespace using, as connection target, the configured,
possibly global unicast address.
In this case, we have to map the destination address to a link-local
address, and for port-based tracked responses, the source address
needs to be again the unicast address: not loopback, not link-local.

For compatibility with libslirp/slirp4netns users: introduce a
mechanism to map, in the UDP routines, an address facing guest or
namespace to the first IPv4 or IPv6 address resulting from
configuration as resolver. This can be enabled with the new
--dns-forward option.
This implies that sourcing and using DNS addresses and search lists,
passed via command line or read from /etc/resolv.conf, is not bound
anymore to DHCP/DHCPv6/NDP usage: for example, pasta users might just
want to use addresses from /etc/resolv.conf as mapping target, while
not passing DNS options via DHCP.
Reflect this in all the involved code paths by differentiating
DHCP/DHCPv6/NDP usage from DNS configuration per se, and in the new
options --dhcp-dns, --dhcp-search for pasta, and --no-dhcp-dns,
--no-dhcp-search for passt.
This should be the last bit to enable substantial compatibility
between slirp4netns.sh and slirp4netns(1): pass the --dns-forward
option from the script too.
