tcp_sock_refill() contains two near-identical loops to refill the IPv4
and IPv6 socket pools. In addition, if we get an error on the IPv4
pool we exit early and won't attempt to refill the IPv6 pool. At
least theoretically, these are independent from each other and there's
value to filling up either pool without the other. So, there's no
strong reason to give up on one because the other failed.
Address both of these with a helper function 'tcp_sock_refill_pool()' to
refill a single given pool.

David reports that TCP transfers might stall, especially with smaller
socket buffer sizes, because we reset the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag, in
tcp_tap_handler(), whenever we receive an ACK segment, regardless of
its sequence number and the fact that we might still be waiting for
one. This way, we might fail to re-transmit frames on ACK timeouts.
We need, instead, to:
- indicate with the @retrans field only re-transmissions for the same
data sequences. If we make progress, it should be reset, given that
it's used to abort a connection when we exceed a given number of
re-transmissions for the same data
- unset the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag if and only if the acknowledged
sequence is the same as the last one we sent, as suggested by David
- keep it set otherwise, if progress was done but not all the data we
sent was acknowledged, and update the expiration of the ACK timeout
Add a new helper for these purposes, tcp_update_seqack_from_tap().
To extend the ACK timeout, the new helper sets the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE
flag, even if it was already set, and conn_flag_do() triggers a timer
update. This part should be revisited at a later time, because,
strictly speaking, ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE isn't a flag anymore. One
possibility might be to introduce another connection attribute for
events affecting timer deadlines.

Adapted from a patch by Paul Holzinger: when pasta spawns a command,
operating without a pre-existing user and network namespace, it needs
to wait for the tap device to be configured and its handler ready,
before the command is actually executed.
Otherwise, something like:
pasta --config-net nslookup passt.top
usually fails as the nslookup command is issued before the network
interface is ready.
We can't adopt a simpler approach based on SIGSTOP and SIGCONT here:
the child runs in a separate PID namespace, so it can't send SIGSTOP
to itself as the kernel sees the child as init process and blocks
the delivery of the signal.
We could send SIGSTOP from the parent, but this wouldn't avoid the
possible condition where the child isn't ready to wait for it when
the parent sends it, also raised by Paul -- and SIGSTOP can't be
blocked, so it can never be pending.
Use SIGUSR1 instead: mask it before clone(), so that the child starts
with it blocked, and can safely wait for it. Once the parent is
ready, it sends SIGUSR1 to the child. If SIGUSR1 is sent before the
child is waiting for it, the kernel will queue it for us, because
it's blocked.

To send frames on the tap interface, the UDP uses a fairly complicated two
level batching. First multiple frames are gathered into a single "message"
for the qemu stream socket, then multiple messages are send with
sendmmsg(). We now have tap_send_frames() which already deals with sending
a number of frames, including batching and handling partial sends. Use
that to considerably simplify things.
This does make a couple of behavioural changes:
* We used to split messages to keep them under 32kiB (except when a
single frame was longer than that). The comments claim this is
needed to stop qemu from closing the connection, but we don't have any
equivalent logic for TCP. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with
this series, although it was apparently easy to reproduce earlier.
My suspicion is that there was never an inherent need to keep messages
small, however with larger messages (and default kernel buffer sizes)
the chances of needing more than one resend for partial send()s is
greatly increased. We used not to correctly handle that case of
multiple resends, but now we do.
* Previously when we got a partial send on UDP, we would resend the
remainder of the entire "message", including multiple frames. The
common code now only resends the remainder of a single frame, simply
dropping any frames which weren't even partially sent. This is what
TCP always did and is probably a better idea for UDP too.

In passt mode, when writing frames to the qemu socket, we might get a short
send. If we ignored this and carried on, the qemu socket would get out of
sync, because the bytes we actually sent wouldn't correspond to the length
header we already sent. tap_send_frames_passt() handles that by doing a
a blocking send to complete the message, but it has a few flaws:
* We only attempt to resend once: although it's unlikely in practice,
nothing prevents the blocking send() from also being short
* We print a debug error if send() returns non-zero.. but send() returns
the number of bytes sent, so we actually want it to return the length
of the remaining data.
Correct those flaws and also be a bit more thorough about reporting
problems here.

Currently we have special sockets for receiving datagrams from locahost

We want to loosen this so that sockets can receive sockets that will be
forwarded by both the spliced and non-spliced paths. To do this, we alter
the meaning of the @splice bit in the reference to mean that packets
receieved on this socket *can* be spliced, not that they *will* be spliced.
They'll only actually be spliced if they come from 127.0.0.1 or ::1.
We can't (for now) remove the splice bit entirely, unlike with TCP. Our
gateway mapping means that if the ns initiates communication to the gw
address, we'll translate that to target 127.0.0.1 on the host side. Reply
packets will therefore have source address 127.0.0.1 when received on the
host, but these need to go via the tap path where that will be translated
back to the gateway address. We need the @splice bit to distinguish that
case from packets going from localhost to a port mapped explicitly with
-u which should be spliced.

For sending the splice packets we keep the same data buffers, but we need

only uses it for receive). Likewise we create udp[46]_mh_splice with the
mmsghdr structures for sending spliced packets. As well as needing to
reference different iovs, these need to all reference udp_splice_namebuf
instead of individual msg_name fields for each slot.

udp_sock_handler_splice() has a somewhat clunky if to extract the port from
a socket address which could be either IPv4 or IPv6. Future changes are
going to make this even more clunky, so introduce a helper function to
do this extraction.

These two constants have the same value, and there's not a lot of reason
they'd ever need to be different. Future changes will further integrate
the spliced and "tap" paths so that these need to be the same. So, merge
them into UDP_MAX_FRAMES.

Previous cleanups mean that we can now rework some complex ifs in
udp_sock_handler_splice() into a simpler set.
