The libc crate provides all functionality provided by the net_gen crate.
Removing the net_gen crate reduces the maintenance burden.
The switch to libc required some fixes, most notably the switch from a
`Vec<u8>` to a `CString` for the `net_util::Tap.if_name` field.

One can call `to_vec()` anyway if one needs an owned copy. This change
further helps to prevent needless copies in upcoming changes.

This streamlines the code base to follow best practices for
error handling in Rust: Each error struct implements
std::error::Error (most due via thiserror::Error derive macro)
and sets its source accordingly.
This allows future work that nicely prints the error chains,
for example.
So far, the convention is that each error prints its
sub error as part of its Display::fmt() impl.

Allow tap interfaces to be configured with an IPv6 address. The change
is fairly straightforward: we need to update the API types and CLI
parsing to accept either an IPv6 or IPv4 and then match on the IP
address type when the tap device is configured.
For IPv6 addresses, the netmask (prefix) must be provided at the same
time as the address itself (in the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl). They cannot be
configured separately. So we remove the separate "set_netmask" function
and convert "set_ip_addr" to also accept a netmask. For IPv4 addresses,
the IP address and netmask were already always set together, so this
should have no functional impact for users of IPv4 addresses.

Replace `map_or()` on false condition with `is_some_and` to provide
better readability, as suggestted by v1.84.0-beta.1 `cargo clippy`.

Historically the Cloud Hypervisor coding style has been to ensure that
all imports are ordered and placed in a single group. Unfortunately
cargo fmt has no support for ensuring that all imports are in a single
group so if whitespace lines were added as part of the import statements
then they would only be odered correctly in the group.
By adopting "group_imports="StdExternalCrate" we can enforce a style
where imports are placed in at most three groups for std, external
crates and the crate itself. Choosing a style enforceable by the tooling
reduces the reviewer burden.

This commit changes existing behavior of named TAP interfaces.
When booting a VM with configuration for a named TAP interface,
cloud-hypervisor will create the interface and apply a given
IP configuration to that interface. If the named interface
already exists on the system, the configuration is NOT overwritten.
Setting the ip and netmask fields in a tap interface configuration
for a named tap interface now works by handing this configuration
to the virtio_devices::Net object when it is created with a name.
This commit also touches net_util to make sure that the ip configuration
of existing TAP interfaces is not modified with ip or netmask handed to
open_tap.

Add a new "mtu" parameter to the NetConfig structure and therefore to
the --net option. This allows Cloud Hypervisor's users to define the
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) they want to use for the network
interface that they create.
In details, there are two main aspects. On the one hand, the TAP
interface is created with the proper MTU if it is provided. And on the
other hand the guest is made aware of the MTU through the VIRTIO
configuration. That means the MTU is properly set on both the TAP on the
host and the network interface in the guest.

Setting the tap offload should only be done based on the features that
are acked by the guest. Therefore it is incorrect to set these upon
opening the tap.

This helper can open a TAP device and configure the interface on it. If
the device needs to be opened multiple times for MQ then it also handles
that correctly.

By moving the code for opening the TAP device into a shared location we
are starting to remove the requirement for the vhost-user-net backend to
depend on the virtio-devices crate which in of itself depends on many
other crates that are not necessary for the backend to function.
