Link-local addresses on the Tailscale interface are not routable.
Ideally they would be removed, however, a concern exists that the
operating system will attempt to re-add them which would lead to
thrashing.
Setting SkipAsSource attempts to avoid production of packets using the
address as a source in any default behaviors.
Before, in powershell: `ping (hostname)` would ping the link-local
address of the Tailscale interface, and fail.
After: `ping (hostname)` now pings the link-local address on the next
highest priority metric local interface.

Setting keepalive ensures that idle connections will eventually be
closed. In userspace mode, any application configured TCP keepalive is
effectively swallowed by the host kernel, and is not easy to detect.
Failure to close connections when a peer tailscaled goes offline or
restarts may result in an otherwise indefinite connection for any
protocol endpoint that does not initiate new traffic.
This patch does not take any new opinion on a sensible default for the
keepalive timers, though as noted in the TODO, doing so likely deserves
further consideration.

Attempt to load the xt_mark kernel module when it is not present. If the
load fails, log error information.
It may be tempting to promote this failure to an error once it has been
in use for some time, so as to avoid reaching an error with the iptables
invocation, however, there are conditions under which the two stages may
disagree - this change adds more useful breadcrumbs.
Example new output from tailscaled running under my WSL2:
```
router: ensure module xt_mark: "/usr/sbin/modprobe xt_mark" failed: exit status 1; modprobe: FATAL: Module xt_mark not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.43.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2
```
Background:
There are two places to lookup modules, one is `/proc/modules` "old",
the other is `/sys/module/` "new".
There was query_modules(2) in linux <2.6, alas, it is gone.
In a docker container in the default configuration, you would get
/proc/modules and /sys/module/ both populated. lsmod may work file,
modprobe will fail with EPERM at `finit_module()` for an unpriviliged
container.
In a priviliged container the load may *succeed*, if some conditions are
met. This condition should be avoided, but the code landing in this
change does not attempt to avoid this scenario as it is both difficult
to detect, and has a very uncertain impact.
In an nspawn container `/proc/modules` is populated, but `/sys/module`
does not exist. Modern `lsmod` versions will fail to gather most module
information, without sysfs being populated with module information.
In WSL2 modules are likely missing, as the in-use kernel typically is
not provided by the distribution filesystem, and WSL does not mount in a
module filesystem of its own. Notably the WSL2 kernel supports iptables
marks without listing the xt_mark module in /sys/module, and
/proc/modules is empty.
On a recent kernel, we can ask the capabilities system about SYS_MODULE,
that will help to disambiguate between the non-privileged container case
and just being root. On older kernels these calls may fail.

Ignoring the events at this layer is the simpler path for right now, a
broader change should follow to suppress irrelevant change events in a
higher layer so as to avoid related problems with other monitoring paths
on other platforms. This approach may also carry a small risk that it
applies an at-most-once invariant low in the chain that could be assumed
otherwise higher in the code.
I adjusted the newAddrMessage type to include interface index rather
than a label, as labels are not always supplied, and in particular on my
test hosts they were consistently missing for ipv6 address messages.
I adjusted the newAddrMessage.Addr field to be populated from
Attributes.Address rather than Attributes.Local, as again for ipv6
.Local was always empty, and with ipv4 the .Address and .Local contained
the same contents in each of my test environments.

In tracking down issue #4144 and reading through the netstack code in
detail, I discovered that the packet buf Clone path did not reset the
packetbuf it was getting from the sync.Pool. The fix was sent upstream
https://github.com/google/gvisor/pull/7385, and this bump pulls that in.
At this time there is no known path that this fixes, however at the time
of upstream submission this reset at least one field that could lead to
incorrect packet routing if exercised, a situation that could therefore
lead to an information leak.

Plumb the outbound injection path to allow passing netstack
PacketBuffers down to the tun Read, where they are decref'd to enable
buffer re-use. This removes one packet alloc & copy, and reduces GC
pressure by pooling outbound injected packets.
