derp, wgengine: let clients advertise an opaque app name to DERP servers

Add an AppName field to the DERP ClientInfo so DERP servers can
attribute connections to the application making them, primarily for
best effort stats purposes. The value is plumbed per engine instance
rather than via a process global, so a process hosting multiple stacks
can attribute each one's DERP connections separately:
wgengine.Config.DERPAppName flows through magicsock.Options and
derphttp.Client into the naclbox-sealed ClientInfo JSON. Old servers
ignore the unknown field.

There are no callers in the tree yet setting the name.
