When forwarding a datagram to a socket, we need to find a socket with a
suitable local address to send it. Currently we keep track of such sockets
in an array indexed by local port, but this can't properly handle cases
where we have multiple local addresses in active use.
For "spliced" (socket to socket) cases, improve this by instead opening
a socket specifically for the target side of the flow. We connect() as
well as bind()ing that socket, so that it will only receive the flow's
reply packets, not anything else. We direct datagrams sent via that socket
using the addresses from the flow table, effectively replacing bespoke
addressing logic with the unified logic in fwd.c
When we create the flow, we also take a duplicate of the originating
socket, and use that to deliver reply datagrams back to the origin, again
using addresses from the flow table entry.

This implements the first steps of tracking UDP packets with the flow table
rather than its own (buggy) set of port maps. Specifically we create flow
table entries for datagrams received from a socket (PIF_HOST or
PIF_SPLICE).
When splitting datagrams from sockets into batches, we group by the flow
as well as splicesrc. This may result in smaller batches, but makes things
easier down the line. We can re-optimise this later if necessary. For now
we don't do anything else with the flow, not even match reply packets to
the same flow.

Current ICMP hard codes its forwarding rules, and never applies any
translations. Change it to use the flow_target() function, so that
it's translated the same as TCP (excluding TCP specific port
redirection).
This means that gw mapping now applies to ICMP so "ping <gw address>" will
now ping the host's loopback instead of the actual gw machine. This
removes the surprising behaviour that the target you ping might not be the
same as you connect to with TCP.
This removes the last user of flow_target_af(), so that's removed as well.

Currently the code to translate host side addresses and ports to guest side
addresses and ports, and vice versa, is scattered across the TCP code.
This includes both port redirection as controlled by the -t and -T options,
and our special case NAT controlled by the --no-map-gw option.
Gather this logic into fwd_nat_from_*() functions for each input
interface in fwd.c which take protocol and address information for the
initiating side and generates the pif and address information for the
forwarded side. This performs any NAT or port forwarding needed.
We create a flow_target() helper which applies those forwarding functions
as needed to automatically move a flow from INI to TGT state.

For now when we forward a ping to the host we leave the host side
forwarding address and port blank since we don't necessarily know what
source address and id will be used by the kernel. When the outbound
address option is active, though, we do know the address at least, so we
can record it in the flowside.
Having done that, use it as the primary source of truth, binding the
outgoing socket based on the information in there. This allows the
possibility of more complex rules for what outbound address and/or id
we use in future.
To implement this we create a new helper which sets up a new socket based
on information in a flowside, which will also have future uses. It
behaves slightly differently from the existing ICMP code, in that it
doesn't bind to a specific interface if given a loopback address. This is
logically correct - the loopback address means we need to operate through
the host's loopback interface, not ifname_out. We didn't need it in ICMP
because ICMP will never generate a loopback address at this point, however
we intend to change that in future.

We generate TCP initial sequence numbers, when we need them, from a
hash of the source and destination addresses and ports, plus a
timestamp. Moments later, we generate another hash of the same
information plus some more to insert the connection into the flow hash
table.
With some tweaks to the flow_hash_insert() interface and changing the
order we can re-use that hash table hash for the initial sequence
number, rather than calculating another one. It won't generate
identical results, but that doesn't matter as long as the sequence
numbers are well scattered.

Move the data structures and helper functions for the TCP hash table to
flow.c, making it a general hash table indexing sides of flows. This is
largely code motion and straightforward renames. There are two semantic
changes:
* flow_lookup_af() now needs to verify that the entry has a matching
protocol and interface as well as matching addresses and ports.
* We double the size of the hash table, because it's now at least
theoretically possible for both sides of each flow to be hashed.

Currently we match TCP packets received on the tap connection to a TCP
connection via a hash table based on the forwarding address and both
ports. We hope in future to allow for multiple guest side addresses, or
for multiple interfaces which means we may need to distinguish based on
the endpoint address and pif as well. We also want a unified hash table
to cover multiple protocols, not just TCP.
Replace the TCP specific hash function with one suitable for general flows,
or rather for one side of a general flow. This includes all the
information from struct flowside, plus the pif and the L4 protocol number.

Require the address and port information for the target (non
initiating) side to be populated when a flow enters TGT state.
Implement that for TCP and ICMP. For now this leaves some information
redundantly recorded in both generic and type specific fields. We'll
fix that in later patches.
For TCP we now use the information from the flow to construct the
destination socket address in both tcp_conn_from_tap() and
tcp_splice_connect().

Handling of each protocol needs some degree of tracking of the
addresses and ports at the end of each connection or flow. Sometimes
that's explicit (as in the guest visible addresses for TCP
connections), sometimes implicit (the bound and connected addresses of
sockets).
To allow more consistent handling across protocols we want to
uniformly track the address and port at each end of the connection.
Furthermore, because we allow port remapping, and we sometimes need to
apply NAT, the addresses and ports can be different as seen by the
guest/namespace and as by the host.
Introduce 'struct flowside' to keep track of address and port
information related to one side of a flow. Store two of these in the
common fields of a flow to track that information for both sides.
For now we only populate the initiating side, requiring that
information be completed when a flows enter INI. Later patches will
populate the target side.
For now this leaves some information redundantly recorded in both generic
and type specific fields. We'll fix that in later patches.

Currently we have no generic information flows apart from the type and
state, everything else is specific to the flow type. Start introducing
generic flow information by recording the pifs which the flow connects.
To keep track of what information is valid, introduce new flow states:
INI for when the initiating side information is complete, and TGT for
when both sides information is complete, but we haven't chosen the
flow type yet. For now, these states don't do an awful lot, but
they'll become more important as we add more generic information.

Each flow in the flow table has two sides, 0 and 1, representing the
two interfaces between which passt/pasta will forward data for that flow.
Which side is which is currently up to the protocol specific code: TCP
uses side 0 for the host/"sock" side and 1 for the guest/"tap" side, except
for spliced connections where it uses 0 for the initiating side and 1 for
the target side. ICMP also uses 0 for the host/"sock" side and 1 for the
guest/"tap" side, but in its case the latter is always also the initiating
side.
Make this generically consistent by always using side 0 for the initiating
side and 1 for the target side. This doesn't simplify a lot for now, and
arguably makes TCP slightly more complex, since we add an extra field to
the connection structure to record which is the guest facing side. This is
an interim change, which we'll be able to remove later.

Flows move over several different states in their lifetime. The rules for
these are documented in comments, but they're pretty complex and a number
of the transitions are implicit, which makes this pretty fragile and
error prone.
Change the code to explicitly track the states in a field. Make all
transitions explicit and logged. To the extent that it's practical in C,
enforce what can and can't be done in various states with ASSERT()s.
While we're at it, tweak the docs to clarify the restrictions on each state
a bit.

The flow dispatches deferred and timer handling for flows centrally, but
needs to call into protocol specific code for the handling of individual
flows. Currently this passes a general union flow *. It makes more sense
to pass the specific relevant flow type structure. That brings the check
on the flow type adjacent to casting to the union variant which it tags.
Arguably, this is a slight abstraction violation since it involves the
generic flow code using protocol specific types. It's already calling into
protocol specific functions, so I don't think this really makes any
difference.

Currently icmp_id_map[][] stores information about ping sockets in a
bespoke structure. Move the same information into new types of flow
in the flow table. To match that change, replace the existing ICMP
timer with a flow-based timer for expiring ping sockets. This has the
advantage that we only need to scan the active flows, not all possible
ids.
We convert icmp_id_map[][] to point to the flow table entries, rather
than containing its own information. We do still use that array for
locating the right ping flows, rather than using a "flow native" form
of lookup for the time being.

Our allocation scheme for flow entries means there are some
non-obvious constraints on when what things can be done with an entry.
Add a big doc comment explaining the life cycle.
In addition, make a FLOW_START() macro to mark one of the important
transitions. This encourages correct usage, by making it natural to
only access the flow type specific structure after calling it. It
also logs that a new flow has been created, which is useful for
debugging.
We also add logging when a flow's lifecycle ends. This doesn't need a
new helper, because it can only happen either from flow_alloc_cancel()
or from the flow deferred handler.

Each flow already has a type field. This implies the protocol the
flow represents, but also has more information: we have two ways to
represent TCP flows, "tap" and "spliced". In order to generalise some
of the flow mechanics, we'll need to determine a flow's protocol in
terms of the IP (L4) protocol number.
Introduce a constant table and helper macro to derive this from the flow
type.

Currently we always keep the flow table maximally compact: that is all the
active entries are contiguous at the start of the table. Doing this
sometimes requires moving an entry when one is freed. That's kind of
fiddly, and potentially expensive: it requires updating the hash table for
the new location, and depending on flow type, it may require EPOLL_CTL_MOD,
system calls to update epoll tags with the new location too.
Implement a new way of managing the flow table that doesn't ever move
entries. It attempts to maintain some compactness by always using the
first free slot for a new connection, and mitigates the effect of non
compactness by cheaply skipping over contiguous blocks of free entries.
See the "theory of operation" comment in flow.c for details.

Currently, flows are only evern finally freed (and the table compacted)
from the deferred handlers. Some future ways we want to optimise managing
the flow table will rely on this, so enforce it: rather than having the
TCP code directly call flow_table_compact(), add a boolean return value to
the per-flow deferred handlers. If true, this indicates that the flow
code itself should free the flow.
This forces all freeing of flows to occur during the flow code's scan of
the table in flow_defer_handler() which opens possibilities for future
optimisations.

Currently tcp.c open codes the process of allocating a new flow from the
flow table: twice, in fact, once for guest to host and once for host to
guest connections. This duplication isn't ideal and will get worse as we
add more protocols to the flow table. It also makes it harder to
experiment with different ways of handling flow table allocation.
Instead, introduce a function to allocate a new flow: flow_alloc(). In
some cases we currently check if we're able to allocate, but delay the
actual allocation. We now handle that slightly differently with a
flow_alloc_cancel() function to back out a recent allocation. We have that
separate from a flow_free() function, because future changes we have in
mind will need to handle this case a little differently.

In general, the passt code is a bit haphazard about what's a true global
variable and what's in the quasi-global 'context structure'. The
flow_count field is one such example: it's in the context structure,
although it's really part of the same data structure as flowtab[], which
is a genuine global.
Move flow_count to be a regular global to match. For now it needs to be
public, rather than static, but we expect to be able to change that in
future.

tcp_timer() scans the flow table so that it can run tcp_splice_timer() on
each spliced connection. More generally, other flow types might want to
run similar timers in future.
We could add a flow_timer() analagous to tcp_timer(), udp_timer() etc.
However, this would need to scan the flow table, which we would have just
done in flow_defer_handler(). We'd prefer to just scan the flow table
once, dispatching both per-flow deferred events and per-flow timed events
if necessary.
So, extend flow_defer_handler() to do this. For now we use the same timer
interval for all flow types (1s). We can make that more flexible in future
if we need to.

tcp_defer_handler(), amongst other things, scans the flow table and does
some processing for each TCP connection. When we add other protocols to

more sense for cache friendliness to perform a single scan of the flow

flow_table.h, the lower level flow header relies on having the struct
definitions for every protocol specific flow type - so far that means
tcp_conn.h. It doesn't include it itself, so tcp_conn.h must be included
before flow_table.h.
That's ok for now, but as we use the flow table for more things,
flow_table.h will need the structs for all of them, which means the
protocol specific .c files would need to include tcp_conn.h _and_ the
equivalents for every other flow type before flow_table.h every time,
which is weird.
So, although we *mostly* lean towards the include style where .c files need
to handle the include dependencies, in this case it makes more sense to
have flow_table.h include all the protocol specific headers it needs.

Most of the messages logged by the TCP code (be they errors, debug or
trace messages) are related to a specific connection / flow. We're fairly
consistent about prefixing these with the type of connection and the
connection / flow index. However there are a few places where we put the
index later in the message or omit it entirely. The template with the
prefix is also a little bulky to carry around for every message,
particularly for spliced connections.
To help keep this consistent, introduce some helpers to log messages
linked to a specific flow. It takes the flow as a parameter and adds a
uniform prefix to each message. This makes things slightly neater now, but
more importantly will help keep formatting consistent as we add more things
to the flow table.
