This change is for Linux only.
Previously, when running with multiple tun.routines, we would only have one file descriptor. This change instead sets IFF_MULTI_QUEUE and opens a file descriptor for each routine. This allows us to process with multiple threads while preventing out of order packet reception issues.
To attempt to distribute the flows across the queues, we try to write to the tun/UDP queue that corresponds with the one we read from. So if we read a packet from tun queue "2", we will write the outgoing encrypted packet to UDP queue "2". Because of the nature of how multi queue works with flows, a given host tunnel will be sticky to a given routine (so if you try to performance benchmark by only using one tunnel between two hosts, you are only going to be using a max of one thread for each direction).
Because this system works much better when we can correlate flows between the tun and udp routines, we are deprecating the undocumented "tun.routines" and "listen.routines" parameters and introducing a new "routines" parameter that sets the value for both. If you use the old undocumented parameters, the max of the values will be used and a warning logged.

Currently, if a packet arrives on the tun device with a destination that
is not a routable Nebula IP, `queryUnsafeRoute` converts that IP to
0.0.0.0 and we store that packet and try to look up that IP with the
lighthouse. This doesn't make any sense to do, if we get a packet that
is unroutable we should just drop it.
Note, we have a few configurable options like `drop_local_broadcast`
and `drop_multicast` which do this for a few specific types, but since
no packets like this will send correctly I think we should just drop
anything that is unroutable.
We are currently triggering a fast handshake for static hosts right
inside HandshakeManager.AddVpnIP, but this can actually trigger before
we have generated the handshake packet to use. Instead, we should be
triggering right after we call ixHandshakeStage0 in getOrHandshake
(which generates the handshake packet)
This change add more metrics around "meta" (non "message" type packets).
For lighthouse packets, we also record statistics around the specific
lighthouse meta type.
We don't keep statistics for the "message" type so that we don't slow
down the fast path (and you can just look at metrics on the tun
interface to find that information).
This change adds a new helper, `(*HostInfo).logger()`, that starts a new
logrus.Entry with `vpnIp` and `certName`. We don't use the helper inside
of handshake_ix though since the certificate has not been attached to
the HostInfo yet.
