Right now, we send each tcp packet separately, we call one system
call per-packet. This patch allows to generate multiple tcp packets
and send them by sendmmsg.
The arguable part of this CL is a way how to handle multiple headers.
This CL adds the next field to the Prepandable buffer.

The behavior for sending and receiving local broadcast (255.255.255.255)
traffic is as follows:
Outgoing
--------
* A broadcast packet sent on a socket that is bound to an interface goes out
that interface
* A broadcast packet sent on an unbound socket follows the route table to
select the outgoing interface
+ if an explicit route entry exists for 255.255.255.255/32, use that one
+ else use the default route
* Broadcast packets are looped back and delivered following the rules for
incoming packets (see next). This is the same behavior as for multicast
packets, except that it cannot be disabled via sockopt.
Incoming
--------
* Sockets wishing to receive broadcast packets must bind to either INADDR_ANY
(0.0.0.0) or INADDR_BROADCAST (255.255.255.255). No other socket receives
broadcast packets.
* Broadcast packets are multiplexed to all sockets matching it. This is the
same behavior as for multicast packets.
* A socket can bind to 255.255.255.255:<port> and then receive its own
broadcast packets sent to 255.255.255.255:<port>
In addition, this change implicitly fixes an issue with multicast reception. If
two sockets want to receive a given multicast stream and one is bound to ANY
while the other is bound to the multicast address, only one of them will
receive the traffic.

Adds support to generate Port Unreachable messages for UDP
datagrams received on a port for which there is no valid
endpoint.
Fixes#703
PiperOrigin-RevId: 267034418
This addresses the problem where an endpoint has its address removed but still
has outstanding references held by routes used in connected TCP/UDP sockets
which prevent the removal of the endpoint.
The fix adds a new "expired" flag to the referenced network endpoint, which is
set when an endpoint has its address removed. Incoming packets are not
delivered to an expired endpoint (unless in promiscuous mode), while sending
outgoing packets triggers an error to the caller (unless in spoofing mode).
In addition, a few helper functions were added to stack_test.go to reduce
code duplications.

iptables also relies on IPPROTO_RAW in a way. It opens such a socket to
manipulate the kernel's tables, but it doesn't actually use any of the
functionality. Blegh.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 257903078
Multicast packets are special in that their destination address does not
identify a specific interface. When sending out such a packet the multicast
address is the remote address, but for incoming packets it is the local
address. Hence, when looping a multicast packet, the route needs to be
tweaked to reflect this.

The linux packet socket can handle GSO packets, so we can segment packets to
64K instead of the MTU which is usually 1500.

runsc-gso: 1794121.66 [Kbytes/sec] received

HandleLocal is very similar conceptually to MULTICAST_LOOP, so we can unify
the implementations. This has the benefit of making HandleLocal apply even when
the fdbased link endpoint isn't in use.
In addition, move looping logic to route creation so that it doesn't need to be
run for each packet. This should improve performance.

IP_MULTICAST_LOOP controls whether or not multicast packets sent on the default
route are looped back. In order to implement this switch, support for sending
and looping back multicast packets on the default route had to be implemented.
For now we only support IPv4 multicast.

Previously, if address resolution for UDP or Ping sockets required sending
packets using Write in Transport layer, Resolve would return ErrWouldBlock
and Write would return ErrNoLinkAddress. Meanwhile startAddressResolution
would run in background. Further calls to Write using same address would also
return ErrNoLinkAddress until resolution has been completed successfully.
Since Write is not allowed to block and System Calls need to be
interruptible in System Call layer, the caller to Write is responsible for
blocking upon return of ErrWouldBlock.
Now, when startAddressResolution is called a notification channel for
the completion of the address resolution is returned.
The channel will traverse up to the calling function of Write as well as
ErrNoLinkAddress. Once address resolution is complete (success or not) the
channel is closed. The caller would call Write again to send packets and
check if address resolution was compeleted successfully or not.

Makes it possible to avoid copying or allocating in cases where DeliverNetworkPacket (rx)
needs to turn around and call WritePacket (tx) with its VectorisedView.
Also removes the restriction on having VectorisedViews with multiple views in the write path.

Add option to redirect packet back to netstack if it's destined to itself.
This fixes the problem where connecting to the local NIC address would
not work, e.g.:
echo bar | nc -l -p 8080 &
echo foo | nc 192.168.0.2 8080
