tcp: More precise terms for addresses and ports
In a number of places the comments and variable names we use to describe addresses and ports are ambiguous. It's not sufficient to describe a port as "tap-facing" or "socket-facing", because on both the tap side and the socket side there are two ports for the two ends of the connection. Similarly, "local" and "remote" aren't particularly helpful, because it's not necessarily clear whether we're talking from the point of view of the guest/namespace, the host, or passt itself. This patch makes a number of changes to be more precise about this. It introduces two new terms in aid of this: A "forwarding" address (or port) refers to an address which is local from the point of view of passt itself. That is a source address for traffic sent by passt, whether it's to the guest via the tap interface or to a host on the internet via a socket. The "endpoint" address (or port) is the reverse: a remote address from passt's point of view, the destination address for traffic sent by passt. Between them the "side" (either tap/guest-facing or sock/host-facing) and forwarding vs. endpoint unambiguously describes which address or port we're talking about.
