The linux packet socket can handle GSO packets, so we can segment packets to
64K instead of the MTU which is usually 1500.
Here are numbers for the nginx-1m test:
runsc: 579330.01 [Kbytes/sec] received
runsc-gso: 1794121.66 [Kbytes/sec] received
runc: 2122139.06 [Kbytes/sec] received
and for tcp_benchmark:
$ tcp_benchmark --duration 15 --ideal
[ 4] 0.0-15.0 sec 86647 MBytes 48456 Mbits/sec
$ tcp_benchmark --client --duration 15 --ideal
[ 4] 0.0-15.0 sec 2173 MBytes 1214 Mbits/sec
$ tcp_benchmark --client --duration 15 --ideal --gso 65536
[ 4] 0.0-15.0 sec 19357 MBytes 10825 Mbits/sec

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.

...in accordance with RFCs 1112 and 2464.
Fixes IPv4 multicast when IP_MULTICAST_IF is specified.
Don't return ErrNoRoute when no route is needed.
Don't set Route.NextHop when no route is needed.

Broadly, this change:
* Enables sockets to be created via `socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP)`.
* Passes the network-layer (IP) header up the stack to the transport endpoint,
which can pass it up to the socket layer. This allows a raw socket to return
the entire IP packet to users.
* Adds functions to stack.TransportProtocol, stack.Stack, stack.transportDemuxer
that enable incoming packets to be delivered to raw endpoints. New raw sockets
of other protocols (not ICMP) just need to register with the stack.
* Enables ping.endpoint to return IP headers when created via SOCK_RAW.

Same as with broadcast packets, sending of a multicast packet shouldn't require
accessing the route table. The same applies to IPv6 link-local addresses, which
aren't routable at all (they don't belong to any subnet by definition).

Currently sending a broadcast packet (for DHCP, e.g.) requires a "default
route" of the format "0.0.0.0/0 via 0.0.0.0 <intf>". There is no good reason
for this and on devices with several ports this creates a rather akward route
table with lots of such default routes (which defeats the purpose of a default
route).

This removes code that should have never made it in in the first place, but did so due to incomplete testing. With the new tests the original code fails, the new code passes.

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.
