I thought we could just set errno to 0, do a bunch of stuff, and check
that errno didn't change to infer we succeeded. But clang-tidy,
starting with LLVM 19, reports:

/home/sbrivio/passt/util.c:465:6: error: An undefined value may be read from 'errno' [clang-analyzer-unix.Errno,-warnings-as-errors]
  465 |         if (errno)

And the LLVM documentation for the unix.Errno checker, 1.1.8.3
unix.Errno (C), mentions, at:

  https://clang.llvm.org/docs/analyzer/checkers.html#unix-errno

that:

  The C and POSIX standards often do not define if a standard library
  function may change value of errno if the call does not fail.
  Therefore, errno should only be used if it is known from the return
  value of a function that the call has failed.

which is, somewhat surprisingly, the case for close().

Instead of using errno, check the actual return values of the calls
we issue here.

unique values.

<title>treewide: Address cert-err33-c clang-tidy warnings for clock and timer functions</title>

For clock_gettime(), we shouldn't ignore errors if they happen at
initialisation phase, because something is seriously wrong and it's
not helpful if we proceed as if nothing happened.

As we're up and running, though, it's probably better to report the
error and use a stale value than to terminate altogether. Make sure
we use a zero value if we don't have a stale one somewhere.

For timerfd_gettime() and timerfd_settime() failures, just report an
error, there isn't much else we can do.

<title>treewide: Suppress clang-tidy warning if we already use O_CLOEXEC</title>

In pcap_init(), we should always open the packet capture file with
O_CLOEXEC, even if we're not running in foreground: O_CLOEXEC means
close-on-exec, not close-on-fork.

In logfile_init() and pidfile_open(), the fact that we pass a third
'mode' argument to open() seems to confuse the android-cloexec-open
checker in LLVM versions from 16 to 19 (at least).

The checker is suggesting to add O_CLOEXEC to 'mode', and not in
'flags', where we already have it.

Add a suppression for clang-tidy and a comment, and avoid repeating
those three times by adding a new helper, output_file_open().

We use fprintf() to print to standard output or standard error
streams. If something gets truncated or there's an output error, we
don't really want to try and report that, and at the same time it's
not abnormal behaviour upon which we should terminate, either.

Just silence the warning with an ugly FPRINTF() variadic macro casting
the fprintf() expressions to void.

Don't silence the warnings as they might actually have some merit. Add
an snprintf_check() function, instead, checking that we're not
truncating messages while printing to buffers, and terminate if the
check fails.

We'll deprecate qrap(1) soon, and warnings reported by clang-tidy as
of LLVM versions 16 and later would need a bunch of changes there to
be addressed, mostly around CERT C rule ERR33-C and checking return
code from snprintf().

It makes no sense to fix warnings in qrap just for the sake of it, so
officially declare the bitrotting season open.

<title>tcp: unify l2 TCPv4 and TCPv6 queues and structures</title>

Following the preparations in the previous commit, we can now remove
the payload and flag queues dedicated for TCPv6 and TCPv4 and move all
traffic into common queues handling both protocol types.

Apart from reducing code and memory footprint, this change reduces
a potential risk for TCPv4 traffic starving out TCPv6 traffic.
Since we always flush out the TCPv4 frame queue before the TCPv6 queue,
the latter will never be handled if the former fails to send all its
frames.

Tests with iperf3 shows no measurable change in performance after this
change.

<title>tcp: set ip and eth headers in l2 tap queues on the fly</title>

l2 tap queue entries are currently initialized at system start, and
reused with preset headers through its whole life time. The only
fields we need to update per message are things like payload size
and checksums.

If we want to reuse these entries between ipv4 and ipv6 messages we
will need to set the pointer to the right header on the fly per
message, since the header type may differ between entries in the same
queue.

The same needs to be done for the ethernet header.

We do these changes here.
