- Accept certs signed by trusted CAs

* add calculated_remotes
This setting allows us to "guess" what the remote might be for a host
while we wait for the lighthouse response. For networks that hard
designed with in mind, it can help speed up handshake performance, as well as
improve resiliency in the case that all lighthouses are down.
Example:
lighthouse:
# ...
calculated_remotes:
# For any Nebula IPs in 10.0.10.0/24, this will apply the mask and add
# the calculated IP as an initial remote (while we wait for the response
# from the lighthouse). Both CIDRs must have the same mask size.
# For example, Nebula IP 10.0.10.123 will have a calculated remote of
# 192.168.1.123
10.0.10.0/24:
- mask: 192.168.1.0/24
port: 4242
* figure out what is up with this test
* add test
* better logic for sending handshakes
Keep track of the last light of hosts we sent handshakes to. Only log
handshake sent messages if the list has changed.
Remove the test Test_NewHandshakeManagerTrigger because it is faulty and
makes no sense. It relys on the fact that no handshake packets actually
get sent, but with these changes we would send packets now (which it
should!)
* use atomic.Pointer
* cleanup to make it clearer
* fix typo in example
* firewall: add option to send REJECT replies
This change allows you to configure the firewall to send REJECT packets
when a packet is denied.
firewall:
# Action to take when a packet is not allowed by the firewall rules.
# Can be one of:
# `drop` (default): silently drop the packet.
# `reject`: send a reject reply.
# - For TCP, this will be a RST "Connection Reset" packet.
# - For other protocols, this will be an ICMP port unreachable packet.
outbound_action: drop
inbound_action: drop
These packets are only sent to established tunnels, and only on the
overlay network (currently IPv4 only).

This change also modifies the smoke test to capture tcpdump pcaps from
both the inside and outside to inspect what is going on over the wire.
It also now does TCP and UDP packet tests using the Nmap version of
ncat.
* calculate seq and ack the same was as the kernel
The logic a bit confusing, so we copy it straight from how the kernel
does iptables `--reject-with tcp-reset`:

* Add nss-lookup to the systemd wants to ensure DNS is running before starting nebula
* Add Ansible & example service scripts
* Fix#797
* Align Ansible scripts and examples

By default, Nebula replies to packets it has no tunnel for with a `recv_error` packet. This packet helps speed up re-connection
in the case that Nebula on either side did not shut down cleanly. This response can be abused as a way to discover if Nebula is running
on a host though. This option lets you configure if you want to send `recv_error` packets always, never, or only to private network remotes.
valid values: always, never, private
This setting is reloadable with SIGHUP.

This allows you to configure remote allow lists specific to different
subnets of the inside CIDR. Example:
remote_allow_ranges:
10.42.42.0/24:
192.168.0.0/16: true
This would only allow hosts with a VPN IP in the 10.42.42.0/24 range to
have private IPs (and thus don't connect over public IPs).
The PR also refactors AllowList into RemoteAllowList and LocalAllowList to make it clearer which methods are allowed on which allow list.
This change is for Linux only.
Previously, when running with multiple tun.routines, we would only have one file descriptor. This change instead sets IFF_MULTI_QUEUE and opens a file descriptor for each routine. This allows us to process with multiple threads while preventing out of order packet reception issues.
To attempt to distribute the flows across the queues, we try to write to the tun/UDP queue that corresponds with the one we read from. So if we read a packet from tun queue "2", we will write the outgoing encrypted packet to UDP queue "2". Because of the nature of how multi queue works with flows, a given host tunnel will be sticky to a given routine (so if you try to performance benchmark by only using one tunnel between two hosts, you are only going to be using a max of one thread for each direction).
Because this system works much better when we can correlate flows between the tun and udp routines, we are deprecating the undocumented "tun.routines" and "listen.routines" parameters and introducing a new "routines" parameter that sets the value for both. If you use the old undocumented parameters, the max of the values will be used and a warning logged.

During shutdown, this will keep Nebula alive until after sshd is finished. This cleanly terminates ssh clients accessing a server over a Nebula tunnel.
This commit adds support for Nebula to be started without creating
a tun device. A node started in this mode still has a full "control
plane", but no effective "data plane". Its use is suited to a
lighthouse that has no need to partake in the mesh VPN.
Consequently, creation of the tun device is the only reason nebula
neesd to be started with elevated privileged, so this example
lighthouse can also be run as a non-root user.
Currently, we wait until the next timer tick to act on the lighthouse's
reply to our HostQuery. This means we can easily add hundreds of
milliseconds of unnecessary delay to the handshake. To fix this, we
can introduce a channel to trigger an outbound handshake without waiting
for the next timer tick.
A few samples of cold ping time between two hosts that require a
lighthouse lookup:
before (v1.2.0):
time=156 ms
time=252 ms
time=12.6 ms
time=301 ms
time=352 ms
time=49.4 ms
time=150 ms
time=13.5 ms
time=8.24 ms
time=161 ms
time=355 ms
after:
time=3.53 ms
time=3.14 ms
time=3.08 ms
time=3.92 ms
time=7.78 ms
time=3.59 ms
time=3.07 ms
time=3.22 ms
time=3.12 ms
time=3.08 ms
time=8.04 ms
I recommend reviewing this PR by looking at each commit individually, as
some refactoring was required that makes the diff a bit confusing when
combined together.
