fwd: Rework default address logic for inbound flows
fwd_nat_from_host() needs to determine the guest side destination address for the new flow. In some cases that's controlled by the forwarding rule or -host-lo-to-ns-lo logic, but by default we use the observed guest address. We need to pick the right one to match the source address, though. Currently this is done with similar, but not quite identical logic in the spliced and non-spliced paths. Introduce a new fwd_default_guest_addr() helper to make explicit: * We have the same logic for splice and tap paths * This is a fallback path if nothing else determined the address (we use this default nearly all the time now, but it might change in future) * We're matching IP family and scope with the guest side source address Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
