tcp: Consolidate paths where we initiate reset on tap interface

There are a number of conditions where we will issue a TCP RST in response
to something unexpected we received from the tap interface.  These occur in
both tcp_data_from_tap() and tcp_tap_handler().  In tcp_tap_handler() use
a 'goto out of line' technique to consolidate all these paths into one
place.  For the tcp_data_from_tap() cases use a negative return code and
direct that to the same path in tcp_tap_handler(), its caller.

In this case we want to discard all remaining packets in the batch we have
received: even if they're otherwise good, they'll be invalidated when the
guest receives the RST we're sending.  This is subtly different from the
case where we *receive* an RST, where we could in theory get a new SYN
immediately afterwards.  Clarify that with a common on the now common
reset path.
