Declaring them as required_argument in the longopts array specifies
validation, but doesn't affect how optind is increased after parsing
their values.

Currently, passing one of these options as last option causes pasta
to handle their own values as path to a binary to execute.

Fixes: aae2a9bbf7d1 ("conf: Use "-D none" and "-S none" instead of missing empty option arguments")
Fixes: bf95322fc1ef ("conf: Make the argument to --pcap option mandatory")

Performance tests use iperf3(1) with large windows, and these sysctl
entries are needed to run them unmodified.

The passt demo uses perf(1) to report syscall overhead, and that
needs access to hardware performance counters for unprivileged
users.

When not given an existing PID or network namspace to attach to, pasta
spawns a shell.  Most commands which can spawn a shell in an altered
environment can also run other commands in that same environment, which can
be useful in automation.

Allow pasta to do the same thing; it can be given an arbitrary command to
run in the network and user namespace which pasta creates.  If neither a
command nor an existing PID or netns to attach to is given, continue to
spawn a default shell, as before.

When attaching to an existing namespace, pasta can take a PID or the name
or path of a network namespace as a non-option parameter.  We disambiguate
based on what the parameter looks like.  Make this more explicit by using
a --netns option for explicitly giving the path or name, and treating a
non-option argument always as a PID.

<title>More deterministic detection of whether argument is a PID, PATH or NAME</title>

pasta takes as its only non-option argument either a PID to attach to the
namespaces of, a PATH to a network namespace or a NAME of a network
namespace (relative to /run/netns).  Currently to determine which it is
we try all 3 in that order, and if anything goes wrong we move onto the
next.

This has the potential to cause very confusing failure modes.  e.g. if the
argument is intended to be a network namespace name, but a (non-namespace)
file of the same name exists in the current directory.

Make behaviour more predictable by choosing how to treat the argument based
only on the argument's contents, not anything else on the system:
  - If it's a decimal integer treat it as a PID
  - Otherwise, if it has no '/' characters, treat it as a netns name
    (ip-netns doesn't allow '/' in netns names)
  - Otherwise, treat it as a netns path

If you want to open a persistent netns in the current directory, you can
use './netns'.

This also allows us to split the parsing of the PID|PATH|NAME option from
the actual opening of the namespaces.  In turn that allows us to put the
opening of existing namespaces next to the opening of new namespaces in
pasta_start_ns.  That makes the logical flow easier to follow and will
enable later cleanups.

Caveats:
 - The separation of functions mean we will always generate the basename
   and dirname for the netns_quit system, even when using PID namespaces.
   This is pointless, since the netns_quit system doesn't work for non
   persistent namespaces, but is harmless.
