Both the runas variable in conf() and the parameter to conf_ugid() can be
a const pointer. For some reason cppcheck doesn't catch this now, but does
after some upcoming rearrangements for sharing code with the dynamic update
tool.

This pointer stepping through the array of existing rules can be const.
For some reason cppcheck doesn't catch this at the moment, but does with
certain changes we're looking at for the dynamic configuration client.

This fixes a batch of minor incorrect format specifier and "could be const"
warnings in the vhost_user code. For some very strange reason, cppcheck
doesn't catch these errors right now, but does after code rearrangements
we're making for the dynamic forwarding update stuff.

The read_all_buf() and write_all_buf() functions in util.c are
primarily used for serialising data structures to a stream during
migraiton. We're going to have further use for such serialisation
when we add dynamic configuration updates, where we'll want to share
the code with the client program.
To make that easier move the functions into a new serialise.c
file, and rename thematically.

Add helpers to serialise/deserialise unsigned integers, handling endian
conversion so that the stream format is consistent regardless of host
endiannness. Currently we only use this on one place: sending the number
of flows during migration. We're going to have more use for this as we
add dynamic configuration updates, so these will become more useful.
For now we only need a 32-bit version, however define the functions with
a macro so we can easily add other integer widths when we need them.

Currently fwd_listen_sync_() determines which of the two port scanned
bitmaps is the correct one for a rule before passing it into
fwd_sync_one(). However, fwd_sync_one() is already looking at the rule
internals so is better placed to do this.

Currently we have the slightly silly setup that fwd_listen_sync_() looks
up the pointer to a rule based on its index, then fwd_sync_one() turns it
back into an index. Avoid this by passing the index directly into
fwd_sync_one().

Currently we store the inbound (PIF_HOST) and outbound (PIF_SPLICE)
forwarding tables in separate fields of struct ctx. In a number of places
this requires somewhat awkward if or switch constructs to select the
right table for updates. Conceptually simplify that by using an index of
forwarding tables by pif, which as a bonus keeps track generically which
pifs have implemented forwarding tables so far.
For now this doesn't simplify a lot textually, because many places that
need this also have other special cases to apply by pif. It does simplify
a few crucial places though, and we expect it will become more useful as
the flexibility of the forwarding table is improved.

fwd_rule_add() takes a flags parameter, but it only allows the FWD_WEAK
and FWD_SCAN flags to be specified there. It doesn't allow the
FWD_DUAL_STACK_ANY flag to be set, instead expecting a [*] address to be
indicated by passing NULL as @addr.
However, for upcoming dynamic rule updates, it's more convenient to be able
to explicitly pass FWD_DUAL_STACK_ANY along with an address of ::. Allow
that mode of calling.

It turns out the only callers of fwd_port_is_ephemeral() use it to build a
bitmap of ephemeral ports. So, replace it with fwd_port_map_ephemeral(),
which directly builds that bitmap. As a bonus this allows a slightly
cheaper implementation of building the map, since inside fwd.c we know that
the ephemeral ports form a single range.

In conf_ports() we die with an error if a port specification includes
overlapping excluded ranges. This is contrary to our usual convention of
handling conflicting options (last option wins, rather than error). Plus,
these options don't even conflict, they're just redundant.
This behaviour potentially makes life harder for scripts or other tools
invoking pasta - if they might have the same port excluded for multiple
different reasons, they have to explicitly deduplicate the list, rather
than just list everything on the command line. So, don't give this error,
let a port be excluded as many times as you like.

conf_ports_range_except() checks that it hasn't been asked to map port 0,
which generally won't work. However, there's only one callsite that
doesn't statically pass a non-zero value here. Change the check to an
assert() and move the actual error message to that callsite. This will
allow further cleanups later.

conf_ports_range_except() generates errors if asked to map an address of
a family that's not available. This is quite late to perform the check,
most callsites pass a NULL address, making the test moot, the one remaining
can check the address earlier. Move the check there, simplifying the
lower level function.

conf_ports() has logic to warn if -[TU] auto is specified but we can't use
SO_BINDTODEVICE. However, this is redundant with similar logic in
conf_ports_range_except(). The latter will be triggered both for an
explicit -[TU] auto and when it's invoked as a default option, so keep that
one and drop the one in conf_ports().

All current pif names are quite short, and we expect them to remain short
when/if we allow arbitrary pifs. However, because of the structure of
the current code we don't enforce any limit on the length.
This will become more important with dynamic configuration updates, so
start enforcing a length limit. Specifically we allow pif names to be up
to IFNAMSIZ bytes, including the terminating \0. This is semi-arbitrary -
there's no particular reason we have to use the same length limit as
kernel netif names. However, when we do allow arbitrary pifs, we expect
that we might support a similar number to the number of kernel interfaces.
It might make sense to use names matching kernel interface names in that
future. So, re-use IFNAMSIZ to avoid surprise.

And what if... we used 128 instead, which is reasonably longer than
UNIX_PATH_MAX (108, which despite the application usage in POSIX 2024.1:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/sys_un.h.html
is still commonly used a path length limit, also by passt itself)?
At that point we could embed UNIX domain socket paths as PIF name
(possibly with some additional specifier) which _might_ be useful to
forward UNIX sockets in the https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=200
sense.
It's not the only way to implement it, but perhaps it's one possibility
that might make sense for what we know now? What do you think?
It also has the advantage of being sufficiently longer than IFNAMSIZ,
so that should we ever need to have stuff like "container_A:eth0" in a
PIF name, we could have it as well.

ipproto_name() returns a static string of theoretically unbounded length.
That's going to be inconvenient in future, so introduce IPPROTO_STRLEN
giving an explicit bound on the length. Use static_assert() and some
macros to ensure nothing we return can exceed this.

Currently bitmap functions are in util.[ch] along with a lot of other
stuff. In preparation for sharing them with a configuration client, move
these out into their own files.

To: passt-dev, Stefano Brivio; +Cc: David Gibson
Most of the fields in struct fwd_rule give the parameters of the forwarding
rule itself. The @socks field gives the list of listening sockets we use
to implement it. In order to share code with the configuraiton update tool
pesto, we want to split these. Move the rule specification itself into
fwd_rule.h, which can be shared with pesto.
