  To: passt-dev, Stefano Brivio; +Cc: David Gibson

In conf_ports() we have three different paths which actually do the setup
of an individual forwarded port: one for the "all" case, one for the
exclusions only case and one for the range of ports with possible
exclusions case.

We can unify those cases using a new helper which handles a single range
of ports, with a bitmap of exclusions.  Although this is slightly longer
(largely due to the new helpers function comment), it reduces duplicated
logic.  It will also make future improvements to the tracking of port
forwards easier.

The new conf_ports_range_except() function has a pretty prodigious
parameter list, but I still think it's an overall improvement in conceptual
complexity.

This introduces two subtle functional changes that are a bit unexpected
given the commit message. Before:

$ ./pasta -t 0
$

$ ./pasta -t 0-1025
Failed to bind port 1 (Permission denied) for option '-t 0-1025', exiting

After:

$ ./pasta -t 0
Can't forward port 0 for option '-t 0'

$ ./pasta -t 0-1025
Can't forward port 0 for option '-t 0-1025'

...anyway, I doubt anybody would use -t 0 on purpose (to get a port
automatically assigned), and while it probably works for TCP (check
bound ports after starting pasta, use the assigned one), it wouldn't
necessarily work as expected for UDP if the application relies on our
flow tracking.

For TCP, actually, -t 0 might be useful, see e.g. random_free_port() in
Podman tests (/test/system/helpers.network.bash). We should print the
port number that was bound, though, and document the feature.

More than that: that could actually be the only race-free possibility
of picking and forwarding a port where the number doesn't matter.

In any case, given that it works by mistake now and it's undocumented,
let me go ahead and apply this for the moment. We can add the
"functionality" back later if it makes sense.
