Following the preparations in the previous commit, we can now remove
the payload and flag queues dedicated for TCPv6 and TCPv4 and move all
traffic into common queues handling both protocol types.
Apart from reducing code and memory footprint, this change reduces
a potential risk for TCPv4 traffic starving out TCPv6 traffic.
Since we always flush out the TCPv4 frame queue before the TCPv6 queue,
the latter will never be handled if the former fails to send all its
frames.
Tests with iperf3 shows no measurable change in performance after this
change.

l2 tap queue entries are currently initialized at system start, and
reused with preset headers through its whole life time. The only
fields we need to update per message are things like payload size
and checksums.
If we want to reuse these entries between ipv4 and ipv6 messages we
will need to set the pointer to the right header on the fly per
message, since the header type may differ between entries in the same
queue.
The same needs to be done for the ethernet header.
We do these changes here.

Remove the err label as there is only one caller, and move code
to the caller position. ret is not needed here anymore as it is
always 0.
Remove sendlen as we can user directly len.

As a rule, we prefer constructing packets with matching C structures,
rather than building them byte by byte. However, one case we still build
byte by byte is the TCP options we include in SYN packets (in fact the only
time we generate TCP options on the tap interface).
Rework this to use a structure and initialisers which make it a bit
clearer what's going on.

As tcp_update_check_tcp4() and tcp_update_check_tcp6() compute the
checksum using the TCP header and the TCP payload, it is clearer
to use a pointer to tcp_payload_t that includes tcphdr and payload
rather than a pointer to tcphdr (and guessing TCP header is
followed by the payload).
Move tcp_payload_t and tcp_flags_t to tcp_internal.h.
(They will be used also by vhost-user).

We can need not to set TCP checksum. Add a parameter to
tcp_fill_headers4() and tcp_fill_headers6() to disable it.

When available, we want to retrieve our socket peer's advertised window and
forward that to the guest. That information has been available from the
kernel via the TCP_INFO getsockopt() since kernel commit 8f7baad7f035.
Currently our probing for this is a bit odd. The HAS_SND_WND define
determines if our headers include the tcp_snd_wnd field, but that doesn't
necessarily mean the running kernel supports it. Currently we start by
assuming it's _not_ available, but mark it as available if we ever see
a non-zero value in the field. This is a bit hit and miss in two ways:
* Zero is perfectly possible window the peer could report, so we can
get false negatives
* We're reading TCP_INFO into a local variable, which might not be zero
initialised, so if the kernel _doesn't_ write it it could have non-zero
garbage, giving us false positives.
We can use a more direct way of probing for this: getsockopt() reports the
length of the information retreived. So, check whether that's long enough
to include the field. This lets us probe the availability of the field
once and for all during initialisation. That in turn allows ctx to become
a const pointer to tcp_prepare_flags() which cascades through many other
functions.
We also move the flag for the probe result from the ctx structure to a
global, to match peek_offset_cap.

When handling the DUP_ACK flag, we copy all the buffers making up the ack
frame. However, all our frames share the same buffer for the Ethernet
header (tcp4_eth_src or tcp6_eth_src), so copying the TCP_IOV_ETH will
result in a (perfectly) overlapping memcpy(). This seems to have been
harmless so far, but overlapping ranges to memcpy() is undefined behaviour,
so we really should avoid it.

When using the new SO_PEEK_OFF feature on TCP sockets, we must adjust
the SO_PEEK_OFF value whenever we move conn->seq_to_tap backwards.
Although it was discussed during development, somewhere during the shuffles
the case where we move the pointer backwards because we lost frames while
sending them to the guest. This can happen, for example, if the socket
buffer on the Unix socket to qemu overflows.
Fixing this is slightly complicated because we need to pass a non-const
context pointer to some places we previously didn't need it. While we're
there also fix a small stylistic issue in the function comment for
tcp_revert_seq() - it was using spaces instead of tabs.

Currently we always deliver inbound TCP packets to the guest's most
recent observed IP address. This has the odd side effect that if the
guest changes its IP address with active TCP connections we might
deliver packets from old connections to the new address. That won't
work; it will probably result in an RST from the guest. Worse, if the
guest added a new address but also retains the old one, then we could
break those old connections by redirecting them to the new address.
Now that we maintain flowside information, we have a record of the correct
guest side address and can just use it.

>From linux-6.9.0 the kernel will contain
commit 05ea491641d3 ("tcp: add support for SO_PEEK_OFF socket option").
This new feature makes is possible to call recv_msg(MSG_PEEK) and make
it start reading data from a given offset set by the SO_PEEK_OFF socket
option. This way, we can avoid repeated reading of already read bytes of
a received message, hence saving read cycles when forwarding TCP
messages in the host->name space direction.
In this commit, we add functionality to leverage this feature when
available, while we fall back to the previous behavior when not.
Measurements with iperf3 shows that throughput increases with 15-20
percent in the host->namespace direction when this feature is used.

Move all the TCP parts using internal buffers to tcp_buf.c
and keep generic TCP management functions in tcp.c.
Add tcp_internal.h to export needed functions from tcp.c and
tcp_buf.h from tcp_buf.c
With this change we can use existing TCP functions with a
different kind of memory storage as for instance the shared
memory provided by the guest via vhost-user.
