There are a number of places where we want to handle either a
sockaddr_in or a sockaddr_in6. In some of those we use a void *,
which works ok and matches some standard library interfaces, but
doesn't give a signature level hint that we're dealing with only
sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6, not (say) sockaddr_un or another type of
socket address. Other places we use a sockaddr_storage, which also
works, but has the same problem in addition to allocating more on the
stack than we need to.
Introduce union sockaddr_inany to explictly handle this case: it has
variants for sockaddr_in and sockaddr_in6. Use it in a number of
places where it's easy to do so.

ICMP sockets are cleaned up on a timeout implemented in icmp_timer_one(),
and the logic to do that cleanup is open coded in that function. Similarly
new sockets are opened when we discover we don't have an existing one in
icmp_tap_handler(), and again the logic is open-coded.
That's not the worst thing, but it's a bit cleaner to have dedicated
functions for the creation and destruction of ping sockets. This will also

Currently we use icmp_act[] to scan for ICMP ids which might have an open
socket which could time out. However icmp_act[] contains no information
that's not already in icmp_id_map[] - it's just an "index" which allows
scanning for relevant entries with less cache footprint.
We only scan for ICMP socket expiry every 1s, though, so it's not clear
that cache footprint really matters. Furthermore, there's no strong reason
we need to scan even that often - the timeout is fairly arbitrary and
approximate.
So, eliminate icmp_act[] in favour of directly scanning icmp_id_map[] and
compensate for the cache impact by reducing the scan frequency to once
every 10s.

When forwarding pings from tap, currently we create a ping socket with
a socket address whose port is set to the ID of the ping received from the
guest. This causes the socket to send pings with the same ID on the host.
Although this seems look a good idea for maximum transparency, it's
probably unwise.
First, it's fallible - the bind() could fail, and we already have fallback
logic which will overwrite the packets with the expected guest id if the
id we get on replies doesn't already match. We might as well do that
unconditionally.
But more importantly, we don't know what else on the host might be using
ping sockets, so we could end up with an ID that's the same as an existing
socket. You'd expect that to fail the bind() with EADDRINUSE, which would
be fine: we'd fall back to rewriting the reply ids. However it appears the
kernel (v6.6.3 at least), does *not* fail the bind() and instead it's
"last socket wins" in terms of who gets the replies. So we could
accidentally intercept ping replies for something else on the host.
So, instead of using bind() to set the id, just let the kernel pick one
and expect to translate the replies back. Although theoretically this
makes the passt/pasta link a bit less "transparent", essentially nothing
cares about specific ping IDs, much like TCP source ports, which we also
don't preserve.

Linux ICMP "ping" sockets are very specific in what they do. They let
userspace send ping requests (ICMP_ECHO or ICMP6_ECHO_REQUEST), and receive
matching replies (ICMP_ECHOREPLY or ICMP6_ECHO_REPLY). They don't let you
intercept or handle incoming ping requests.
In the case of passt/pasta that means we can process echo requests from tap
and forward them to a ping socket, then take the replies from the ping
socket and forward them to tap. We can't do the reverse: take echo
requests from the host and somehow forward them to the guest. There's
really no way for something outside to initiate a ping to a passt/pasta
connected guest and if there was we'd need an entirely different mechanism
to handle it.
However, we have some logic to deal with packets going in that reverse
direction. Remove it, since it can't ever be used that way. While we're
there use defines for the ICMPv6 types, instead of open coded type values.

a field of the socket address which clang-tidy erroneously thinks is
uninitialised.
Consolidate these workarounds into one place by using macros to implement

I didn't notice earlier: libslirp (and slirp4netns) supports binding
outbound sockets to specific IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, to force the
source addresse selection. If we want to claim feature parity, we
should implement that as well.
Further, Podman supports specifying outbound interfaces as well, but
this is simply done by resolving the primary address for an interface
when the network back-end is started. However, since kernel version
5.7, commit c427bfec18f2 ("net: core: enable SO_BINDTODEVICE for
non-root users"), we can actually bind to a specific interface name,
which doesn't need to be validated in advance.
Implement -o / --outbound ADDR to bind to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses,
and --outbound-if4 and --outbound-if6 to bind IPv4 and IPv6 sockets
to given interfaces.
Given that it probably makes little sense to select addresses and
routes from interfaces different than the ones given for outbound
sockets, also assign those as "template" interfaces, by default,
unless explicitly overridden by '-i'.
For ICMP and UDP, we call sock_l4() to open outbound sockets, as we
already needed to bind to given ports or echo identifiers, and we
can bind() a socket only once: there, pass address (if any) and
interface (if any) for the existing bind() and setsockopt() calls.
For TCP, in general, we wouldn't otherwise bind sockets. Add a
specific helper to do that.
For UDP outbound sockets, we need to know if the final destination
of the socket is a loopback address, before we decide whether it
makes sense to bind the socket at all: move the block mangling the
address destination before the creation of the socket in the IPv4
path. This was already the case for the IPv6 path.
