StdNetBind probes for UDP GSO and GRO support at runtime. UDP GSO is
dependent on checksum offload support on the egress netdev. UDP GSO
will be disabled in the event sendmmsg() returns EIO, which is a strong
signal that the egress netdev does not support checksum offload.
The iperf3 results below demonstrate the effect of this commit between
two Linux computers with i5-12400 CPUs. There is roughly ~13us of round
trip latency between them.
The first result is from commit 052af4a without UDP GSO or GRO.

We can't have the netlink listener socket, so it's not possible to
support it. Plus, android networking stack complexity makes it a bit
tricky anyway, so best to leave it disabled.

The conn.Bind UDP sockets' send and receive buffers are now being sized
to 7MB, whereas they were previously inheriting the system defaults.
The system defaults are considerably small and can result in dropped
packets on high speed links. By increasing the size of these buffers we
are able to achieve higher throughput in the aforementioned case.
The iperf3 results below demonstrate the effect of this commit between
two Linux computers with 32-core Xeon Platinum CPUs @ 2.9Ghz. There is
roughly ~125us of round trip latency between them.
The first result is from commit 792b49c which uses the system defaults,
e.g. net.core.{r,w}mem_max = 212992. The TCP retransmits are correlated
with buffer full drops on both sides.

The specific value of 7MB is chosen as it is the max supported by a
default configuration of macOS. A value greater than 7MB may further
benefit throughput for environments with higher network latency and
lower CPU clocks, but will also increase latency under load
(bufferbloat). Some platforms will silently clamp the value to other
maximums. On Linux, we use SO_{SND,RCV}BUFFORCE in case 7MB is beyond
net.core.{r,w}mem_max.

Implement TCP offloading via TSO and GRO for the Linux tun.Device, which
is made possible by virtio extensions in the kernel's TUN driver.
Delete conn.LinuxSocketEndpoint in favor of a collapsed conn.StdNetBind.
conn.StdNetBind makes use of recvmmsg() and sendmmsg() on Linux. All
platforms now fall under conn.StdNetBind, except for Windows, which
remains in conn.WinRingBind, which still needs to be adjusted to handle
multiple packets.
Also refactor sticky sockets support to eventually be applicable on
platforms other than just Linux. However Linux remains the sole platform
that fully implements it for now.
