Formerly, when a packet is constructed or parsed, all headers are set by the
client code. This almost always involved prepending to pk.Header buffer or
trimming pk.Data portion. This is known to prone to bugs, due to the complexity
and number of the invariants assumed across netstack to maintain.
In the new PacketHeader API, client will call Push()/Consume() method to
construct/parse an outgoing/incoming packet. All invariants, such as slicing
and trimming, are maintained by the API itself.
NewPacketBuffer() is introduced to create new PacketBuffer. Zero value is no
longer valid.
PacketBuffer now assumes the packet is a concatenation of following portions:
* LinkHeader
* NetworkHeader
* TransportHeader
* Data
Any of them could be empty, or zero-length.

gVisor incorrectly returns the wrong ARP type for SIOGIFHWADDR. This breaks
tcpdump as it tries to interpret the packets incorrectly.
Similarly, SIOCETHTOOL is used by tcpdump to query interface properties which
fails with an EINVAL since we don't implement it. For now change it to return
EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that we don't support the query rather than return
EINVAL.
NOTE: ARPHRD types for link endpoints are distinct from NIC capabilities
and NIC flags. In Linux all 3 exist eg. ARPHRD types are stored in dev->type
field while NIC capabilities are more like the device features which can be
queried using SIOCETHTOOL but not modified and NIC Flags are fields that can
be modified from user space. eg. NIC status (UP/DOWN/MULTICAST/BROADCAST) etc.

Historically we've been passing PacketBuffer by shallow copying through out
the stack. Right now, this is only correct as the caller would not use
PacketBuffer after passing into the next layer in netstack.
With new buffer management effort in gVisor/netstack, PacketBuffer will
own a Buffer (to be added). Internally, both PacketBuffer and Buffer may
have pointers and shallow copying shouldn't be used.
Updates #2404.

The specified LinkEndpoint is not being used in a significant way.
No behavior change, existing tests pass.
This change is a breaking change.

Tests now use a MinRTO of 3s instead of default 200ms. This reduced flakiness in
a lot of the congestion control/recovery tests which were flaky due to
retransmit timer firing too early in case the test executors were overloaded.
This change also bumps some of the timeouts in tests which were too sensitive to
timer variations and reduces the number of slow start iterations which can
make the tests run for too long and also trigger retansmit timeouts etc if
the executor is overloaded.

Software GSO implementation currently has a complicated code path with
implicit assumptions that all packets to WritePackets carry same Data
and it does this to avoid allocations on the path etc. But this makes it
hard to reuse the WritePackets API.
This change breaks all such assumptions by introducing a new Vectorised
View API ReadToVV which can be used to cleanly split a VV into multiple
independent VVs. Further this change also makes packet buffers linkable
to form an intrusive list. This allows us to get rid of the array of
packet buffers that are passed in the WritePackets API call and replace
it with a list of packet buffers.
While this code does introduce some more allocations in the benchmarks
it doesn't cause any degradation.

As per RFC 2464 section 7, an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination
address is transmitted to the mapped Ethernet multicast address.
Test:
- ipv6.TestLinkResolution
- stack_test.TestDADResolve
- stack_test.TestRouterSolicitation

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.

Like (AF_INET, SOCK_RAW) sockets, AF_PACKET sockets require CAP_NET_RAW. With
runsc, you'll need to pass `--net-raw=true` to enable them.
Binding isn't supported yet.

Previously, the only safe way to use an fdbased endpoint was to leak the FD.
This change makes it possible to safely close the FD.
This is the first step towards having stoppable stacks.

It is possible to create a listening socket which will accept
IPv4 and IPv6 connections. In this case, we set IPv6ProtocolNumber
for all accepted endpoints, even if they handle IPv4 connections.
This means that we can't use endpoint.netProto to set gso.L3HdrLen.

...to (remote, local), reflecting the (correct) names in the implementation of
DeliverNetworkPacket (see tcpip/stack/nic.go).
Also trim the names in DeliverNetworkPacket and elsewhere to avoid stuttering;
since the type is tcpip.LinkAddress, there's no need to include "LinkAddr" in
the parameter names.
Note that every callsite passes arguments in the order (src, dst).

This allows a NetworkDispatcher to implement transparent bridging,
assuming all implementations of LinkEndpoint.WritePacket call eth.Encode

Route.LocalLinkAddress, if it is provided.

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.
