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

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.

PACKET_RX_RING allows the use of an mmapped buffer to receive packets from the
kernel. This should cut down the number of host syscalls that need to be made
to receive packets when the underlying fd is a socket of the AF_PACKET type.

This should reduce the number of syscalls required to process packets
significantly and improve throughputs.

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
