Brad Fitzpatrick bd90781b34 ipn/ipnlocal, wgengine/netstack: use netstack for peerapi server
We're finding a bunch of host operating systems/firewalls interact poorly
with peerapi. We either get ICMP errors from the host or users need to run
commands to allow the peerapi port:

https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/3842#issuecomment-1025133727

... even though the peerapi should be an internal implementation detail.

Rather than fight the host OS & firewalls, this change handles the
server side of peerapi entirely in netstack (except on iOS), so it
never makes its way to the host OS where it might be messed with. Two
main downsides are:

1) netstack isn't as fast, but we don't really need speed for peerapi.
   And actually, with fewer trips to/from the kernel, we might
   actually make up for some of the netstack performance loss by
   staying in userspace.

2) tcpdump / Wireshark etc packet captures will no longer see the peerapi
   traffic. Oh well. Crawshaw's been wanting to add packet capture server
   support to tailscaled, so we'll probably do that sooner now.

A future change might also then use peerapi for the client-side
(except on iOS).

Updates #3842 (probably fixes, as well as many exit node issues I bet)
