This change just alters the semantics of the one flaky test, without
trying to speed up timeouts on the others. Empirically, speeding up
the timeouts causes _more_ flakes right now :(
The remaining flake occurs due to a mysterious packet loss. This
doesn't affect normal tailscaled operations, so until I track down
where the loss occurs and fix it, the flaky test is going to be
lenient about packet loss (but not about whether the spray logic
worked).

We weren't setting UsePacketFilter, so the synthetic ping packets
used to establish a connection were never being sent.

It previously passed incorrectly due to bugs. With those fixed,
it becomes flaky for 2 reasons. One of them is the wireguard handshake
race, which can eat the 1st sprayed packet and prevent roamAddr
discovery. This change fixes that failure, by spreading the test
traffic out enough that additional spraying occurs.

The previous code would skip the DERP short-circuit if roamAddr
was set, which is not what we wanted. More generally, hitting
any of the fast path conditions is a direct return, so we can
just have 3 standalone branches rather than 'else if' stuff.

The effect is subtle: when we're not spraying packets, and have not yet
figured out a curAddr, and we're not spraying, we end up sending to
whatever the first IP is in the iteration order. In English, that
means "when we have no idea where to send packets, and we've given
up on sending to everyone, just send to the first addr we see in
the list."
This is, in general, what we want, because the addrs are in sorted
preference order, low to high, and DERP is the least preferred
destination. So, when we have no idea where to send, send to DERP,
right?
... Except for very historical reasons, appendDests iterated through
addresses in _reverse_ order, most preferred to least preferred.
crawshaw@ believes this was part of the earliest handshaking
algorithm magicsock had, where it slowly iterated through possible
destinations and poked handshakes to them one at a time.
Anyway, because of this historical reverse iteration, in the case
described above of "we have no idea where to send", the code would
end up sending to the _most_ preferred candidate address, rather
than the _least_ preferred. So when in doubt, we'd end up firing
packets into the blackhole of some LAN address that doesn't work,
and connectivity would not work.
This case only comes up if all your non-DERP connectivity options
have failed, so we more or less failed to detect it because we
didn't have a pathological test box deployed. Worse, codependent
bug 2839854994 made DERP accidentally
work sometimes anyway by incorrectly exploiting roamAddr behavior,
albeit at the cost of making DERP traffic symmetric. In fixing
DERP to once again be asymmetric, we effectively removed the
bandaid that was concealing this bug.

DERP traffic is asymmetric by design, with nodes always sending
to their peer's home DERP server. However, if roamAddr is set,
magicsock will always push data there, rather than let DERP
server selection do its thing, so we end up accidentally
creating a symmetric flow.

I started to write a full DNS caching resolver and I realized it was
overkill and wouldn't work on Windows even in Go 1.14 yet, so I'm
doing this tiny one instead for now, just for all our netcheck STUN
derp lookups, and connections to DERP servers. (This will be caching a
exactly 8 DNS entries, all ours.)
Fixes#145 (can be better later, of course)
This lets us publish sets of vars that are breakdowns along one
dimension in a format that Prometheus and Grafana natively know
how to do useful things with.

On BSD, /var/db is what linux calls /var/lib.
On modern linux, /run and /var/run are the same directory, but
on BSD the correct path is /var/run, so use that.
