The old implementation knew too much about how wireguard-go worked.
As a result, it missed genuine problems that occurred due to unrelated bugs.
This fourth attempt to fix the health checks takes a black box approach.
A receive func is healthy if one (or both) of these conditions holds:
* It is currently running and blocked.
* It has been executed recently.
The second condition is required because receive functions
are not continuously executing. wireguard-go calls them and then
processes their results before calling them again.
There is a theoretical false positive if wireguard-go go takes
longer than one minute to process the results of a receive func execution.
If that happens, we have other problems.

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.

The old decay-based one took a while to converge. This new one (based
very loosely on TCP BBR) seems to converge quickly on what seems to be
the best speed.

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.

The existing implementation was completely, embarrassingly conceptually broken.
We aren't able to see whether wireguard-go's receive function goroutines
are running or not. All we can do is model that based on what we have done.
This commit fixes that model.

Avery reported a sub-ms health transition from "receiveIPv4 not running" to "ok".
To avoid these transient false-positives, be more precise about
the expected lifetime of receive funcs. The problematic case is one in which
they were started but exited prior to a call to connBind.Close.
Explicitly represent started vs running state, taking care with the order of updates.

I've spent two days searching for a theoretical wireguard-go bug
around receive functions exiting early.
I've found many bugs, but none of the flavor we're looking for.
Restore wireguard-go's logging around starting and stopping receive functions,
so that we can definitively rule in or out this particular theory.

Track endpoints internally with a new tailcfg.Endpoint type that
includes a typed netaddr.IPPort (instead of just a string) and
includes a type for how that endpoint was discovered (STUN, local,
etc).
Use []tailcfg.Endpoint instead of []string internally.
At the last second, send it to the control server as the existing
[]string for endpoints, but also include a new parallel
MapRequest.EndpointType []tailcfg.EndpointType, so the control server
can start filtering out less-important endpoint changes from
new-enough clients. Notably, STUN-discovered endpoints can be filtered
out from 1.6+ clients, as they can discover them amongst each other
via CallMeMaybe disco exchanges started over DERP. And STUN endpoints
change a lot, causing a lot of MapResposne updates. But portmapped
endpoints are worth keeping for now, as they they work right away
without requiring the firewall traversal extra RTT dance.
End result will be less control->client bandwidth. (despite negligible
increase in client->control bandwidth)

It existed to work around the frequent opening and closing
of the conn.Bind done by wireguard-go.

so we can simply close the connections
when we are done with them.

We don't use the port that wireguard-go passes to us (via magicsock.connBind.Open).
We ignore it entirely and use the port we selected.
When we tell wireguard-go that we're changing the listen_port,
it calls connBind.Close and then connBind.Open.
And in the meantime, it stops calling the receive functions,
which means that we stop receiving and processing UDP and DERP packets.
And that is Very Bad.
That was never a problem prior to b3ceca1dd7,
because we passed the SkipBindUpdate flag to our wireguard-go fork,
which told wireguard-go not to re-bind on listen_port changes.
That commit eliminated the SkipBindUpdate flag.
We could write a bunch of code to work around the gap.
We could add background readers that process UDP and DERP packets when wireguard-go isn't.
But it's simpler to never create the conditions in which wireguard-go rebinds.
The other scenario in which wireguard-go re-binds is device.Down.
Conveniently, we never call device.Down. We go from device.Up to device.Close,
and the latter only when we're shutting down a magicsock.Conn completely.

Upstream wireguard-go has changed its receive model.
NewDevice now accepts a conn.Bind interface.
The conn.Bind is stateless; magicsock.Conns are stateful.
To work around this, we add a connBind type that supports
cheap teardown and bring-up, backed by a Conn.
The new conn.Bind allows us to specify a set of receive functions,
rather than having to shoehorn everything into ReceiveIPv4 and ReceiveIPv6.
This lets us plumbing DERP messages directly into wireguard-go,
instead of having to mux them via ReceiveIPv4.
One consequence of the new conn.Bind layer is that
closing the wireguard-go device is now indistinguishable
from the routine bring-up and tear-down normally experienced
by a conn.Bind. We thus have to explicitly close the magicsock.Conn
when the close the wireguard-go device.
One downside of this change is that we are reliant on wireguard-go
to call receiveDERP to process DERP messages. This is fine for now,
but is perhaps something we should fix in the future.
