This is especially helpful as we launch newer DERPs over time, and older
clients have progressively out-of-date static DERP maps baked in. After
this, as long as the client has successfully connected once, it'll cache
the most recent DERP map it knows about.

This is entirely optional (i.e. failing in this code is non-fatal) and
only enabled on Linux for now. Additionally, this new behaviour can be
disabled by setting the TS_DEBUG_DISABLE_AF_PACKET environment variable.

On sufficiently large tailnets, even writing the peer header (~95 bytes)
can result in a large amount of data that needs to be serialized and
deserialized. Only write headers for peers that need to have their
configuration changed.

I was working on my "dump iptables rules using only syscalls" branch and
had a bunch of C structure decoding to do. Rather than manually
calculating the padding or using unsafe trickery to actually cast
variable-length structures to Go types, I'd rather use a helper package
that deals with padding for me.
Padding rules were taken from the following article:
