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.

We have a handful of places where we use a loop to step through each side
of a flow or flows, and we're probably going to have mroe in future.
Introduce a macro to implement this loop for convenience.

In various places we have variables named 'side' or similar which always
have the value 0 or 1 (INISIDE or TGTSIDE). Given a flow, this refers to
a specific side of it. Upcoming flow table work will make it more useful
for "side" to refer to a specific side of a specific flow. To make things
less confusing then, prefer the name term "side index" and name 'sidei' for
variables with just the 0 or 1 value.

TCP (both regular and spliced) and ICMP both have macros to retrieve the
relevant protcol specific flow structure from a flow index. In most cases
what we actually want is to get the specific flow from a sidx. Replace
those simple macros with a more precise inline, which also asserts that
the flow is of the type we expect.
While we're they're also add a pif_at_sidx() helper to get the interface of
a specific flow & side, which is useful in some places.
Finally, fix some minor style issues in the comments on some of the
existing sidx related helpers.

To implement the TCP hash table, we need an invalid (NULL-like) value for
flow_sidx_t. We use FLOW_SIDX_NONE for that, but for defensiveness, we
treat (usually) anything with an out of bounds flow index the same way.
That's not always done consistently though. In flow_at_sidx() we open code
a check on the flow index. In tcp_hash_probe() we instead compare against
FLOW_SIDX_NONE, and in some other places we use the fact that
flow_at_sidx() will return NULL in this case, even if we don't otherwise
need the flow it returns.
Clean this up a bit, by adding an explicit flow_sidx_valid() test function.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

In a number of places, we use indices into the flow table to identify a
specific flow. We also have cases where we need to identify a particular
side of a particular flow, and we expect those to become more common as
we generalise the flow table to cover more things.
To assist with that, introduces flow_sidx_t, an index type which identifies
a specific side of a specific flow in the table.

Both tcp.c and tcp_splice.c define CONN_IDX() variants to find the index
of their connection structures in the connection table, now become the
unified flow table. We can easily combine these into a common helper.
While we're there, add some trickery for some additional type safety.
They also define their own CONN() versions, which aren't so easily combined
since they need to return different types, but we can have them use a
common helper.
In the process, we standardise on always using an unsigned type to store
the connection / flow index, which makes more sense. tcp.c's conn_at_idx()
remains for now, but we change its parameter to unsigned to match. That in
turn means we can remove a check for negative values from it.

We want to generalise "connection" tracking to things other than true TCP
connections. Continue implenenting this by renaming the TCP connection
table to the "flow table" and moving it to flow.c. The definitions are
split between flow.h and flow_table.h - we need this separation to avoid
circular dependencies: the definitions in flow.h will be needed by many
headers using the flow mechanism, but flow_table.h needs all those protocol
specific headers in order to define the full flow table entry.
