The Tailscale logging service has a hard limit on the maximum
log message size that can be accepted.
We want to ensure that netlog messages never exceed
this limit otherwise a client cannot transmit logs.
Move the goroutine for periodically dumping netlog messages
from wgengine/netlog to net/connstats.
This allows net/connstats to manage when it dumps messages,
either based on time or by size.

Previously, tstun.Wrapper and magicsock.Conn managed their
own statistics data structure and relied on an external call to
Extract to extract (and reset) the statistics.
This makes it difficult to ensure a maximum size on the statistics
as the caller has no introspection into whether the number
of unique connections is getting too large.
Invert the control flow such that a *connstats.Statistics
is registered with tstun.Wrapper and magicsock.Conn.
Methods on non-nil *connstats.Statistics are called for every packet.
This allows the implementation of connstats.Statistics (in the future)
to better control when it needs to flush to ensure
bounds on maximum sizes.
The value registered into tstun.Wrapper and magicsock.Conn could
be an interface, but that has two performance detriments:
1. Method calls on interface values are more expensive since
they must go through a virtual method dispatch.
2. The implementation would need a sync.Mutex to protect the
statistics value instead of using an atomic.Pointer.
Given that methods on constats.Statistics are called for every packet,
we want reduce the CPU cost on this hot path.
