Change epoll_del() to accept the epoll file descriptor directly instead
of the full context structure. This simplifies the interface and aligns
with the threading refactoring by reducing dependency on the context
structure for basic epoll operations as we will manage an epollfd per
thread.

Centralize epoll_add() and epoll_del() helper functions into new
epoll_ctl.c/h files.
This also moves the union epoll_ref definition from passt.h to
epoll_ctl.h where it's more logically placed.
The new epoll_add() helper simplifies adding file descriptors to epoll
by taking an epoll_ref and events, handling error reporting
consistently across all call sites.

Move epoll_add() calls from sock_l4_sa() to the protocol-specific code
(icmp.c, pif.c, udp_flow.c) to give callers more control over epoll
registration. This allows sock_l4_sa() to focus solely on socket
creation and binding, while epoll management happens at a higher level.
Remove the data parameter from sock_l4_sa() and flowside_sock_l4() as
it's no longer needed - callers now construct the full epoll_ref and
register the socket themselves after creation.

To: passt-dev; +Cc: Laurent Vivier
The in_epoll boolean flag in tcp_tap_conn and tcp_splice_conn only tracked
whether a connection was registered with epoll, not which epoll instance.
This limited flexibility for future multi-epoll support.
Replace the boolean with a threadnb field in flow_common that identifies
which thread (and thus which epoll instance) the flow is registered with.
Use FLOW_THREADNB_INVALID to indicate when a flow is not registered with
any epoll instance. A threadnb_to_epollfd[] mapping table translates
thread numbers to their corresponding epoll file descriptors.
Add helper functions:
- flow_epollfd_valid() to check if a flow is registered with epoll
- flow_epollfd_get() to retrieve the epoll fd for a flow's thread
- flow_epollfd_set() to register a flow with a thread's epoll instance
This change also simplifies tcp_timer_ctl() and conn_flag_do() by removing
the need to pass the context 'c', since the epoll fd is now directly
accessible from the flow structure via flow_epollfd_get().

Store the thread number in the flow_common structure for ICMP ping
flows using flow_epollfd_set() and retrieve the corresponding epoll
file descriptor with flow_epollfd_get() instead of passing c->epollfd
directly. This makes ICMP consistent with the recent TCP changes and
follows the pattern established in previous commit.
