The handoff between tstun.Wrap's Read and poll methods
is one of the per-packet hotspots. It shows up in pprof.
Making outbound buffered increases throughput.
It is hard to measure exactly how much, because the numbers
are highly variable, but I'd estimate it at about 1%,
using the best observed max throughput across three runs.

To remove some multi-case selects, we intentionally allowed
sends on closed channels (cc23049cd2).
However, we also introduced concurrent sends and closes,
which is a data race.
This commit fixes the data race. The mutexes here are uncontended,
and thus very cheap.

Every TUN Read went through several multi-case selects.
We know from past experience with wireguard-go that these are slow
and cause scheduler churn.
The selects served two purposes: they separated errors from data and
gracefully handled shutdown. The first is fairly easy to replace by sending
errors and data over a single channel. The second, less so.
We considered a few approaches: Intricate webs of channels,
global condition variables. They all get ugly fast.
Instead, let's embrace the ugly and handle shutdown ungracefully.
It's horrible, but the horror is simple and localized.

Pull in the latest version of wireguard-windows.
Switch to upstream wireguard-go.
This requires reverting all of our import paths.
Unfortunately, this has to happen at the same time.
The wireguard-go change is very low risk,
as that commit matches our fork almost exactly.
(The only changes are import paths, CI files, and a go.mod entry.)
So if there are issues as a result of this commit,
the first place to look is wireguard-windows changes.

Whenever we dropped a packet due to ACLs, wireguard-go was logging:
Failed to write packet to TUN device: packet dropped by filter
Instead, just lie to wireguard-go and pretend everything is okay.

We had a long-standing bug in which our TUN events channel
was being received from simultaneously in two places.
The first is wireguard-go.
At wgengine/userspace.go:366, we pass e.tundev to wireguard-go,
which starts a goroutine (RoutineTUNEventReader)
that receives from that channel and uses events to adjust the MTU
and bring the device up/down.
At wgengine/userspace.go:374, we launch a goroutine that
receives from e.tundev, logs MTU changes, and triggers
state updates when up/down changes occur.
Events were getting delivered haphazardly between the two of them.
We don't really want wireguard-go to receive the up/down events;
we control the state of the device explicitly by calling device.Up.
And the userspace.go loop MTU logging duplicates logging that
wireguard-go does when it received MTU updates.
So this change splits the single TUN events channel into up/down
and other (aka MTU), and sends them to the parties that ought
to receive them.
I'm actually a bit surprised that this hasn't caused more visible trouble.
If a down event went to wireguard-go but the subsequent up event
went to userspace.go, we could end up with the wireguard-go device disappearing.
I believe that this may also (somewhat accidentally) be a fix for #1790.

This tries to generate traffic at a rate that will saturate the
receiver, without overdoing it, even in the event of packet loss. It's
unrealistically more aggressive than TCP (which will back off quickly
in case of packet loss) but less silly than a blind test that just
generates packets as fast as it can (which can cause all the CPU to be
absorbed by the transmitter, giving an incorrect impression of how much
capacity the total system has).
Initial indications are that a syscall about every 10 packets (TCP bulk
delivery) is roughly the same speed as sending every packet through a
channel. A syscall per packet is about 5x-10x slower than that.
The whole tailscale wireguard-go + magicsock + packet filter
combination is about 4x slower again, which is better than I thought
we'd do, but probably has room for improvement.
Note that in "full" tailscale, there is also a tundev read/write for
every packet, effectively doubling the syscall overhead per packet.
Given these numbers, it seems like read/write syscalls are only 25-40%
of the total CPU time used in tailscale proper, so we do have
significant non-syscall optimization work to do too.
