bb70811183 treewide: Packet abstraction with mandatory boundary checks
Implement a packet abstraction providing boundary and size checks
based on packet descriptors: packets stored in a buffer can be queued
into a pool (without storage of its own), and data can be retrieved
referring to an index in the pool, specifying offset and length.

Checks ensure data is not read outside the boundaries of buffer and
descriptors, and that packets added to a pool are within the buffer
range with valid offset and indices.

This implies a wider rework: usage of the "queueing" part of the
abstraction mostly affects tap_handler_{passt,pasta}() functions and
their callees, while the "fetching" part affects all the guest or tap
facing implementations: TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, NDP, DHCP and DHCPv6
handlers.

087b5f4dbb LICENSES: Add license text files, add missing notices, fix SPDX tags
SPDX tags don't replace license files. Some notices were missing and
some tags were not according to the SPDX specification, too.

Now reuse --lint from the REUSE tool (https://reuse.software/) passes.

4aa8e54a30 passt: Introduce a DHCPv6 server
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.
