Add ICMPv4 and lneto.StackNode and deprecate internet.StackNode (#65)

* begin adding icmp client

* rely on anon structs

* add tests

* tests passing

* icmp fleshed out

* rework icmp to include ip addr

* rename StackAsync.Demux/Encapsulate to RecvEthernet and SendEthernet

* remove legacy unreachable TCP tests

* remove uses of deprecated internet.StackNode in preference of lneto.StackNode

* documentation

* rename methods to signal no I/O happening

package lneto
// StackNode is an abstraction of a packet exchanging protocol controller. This is the building block for all protocols,
// from Ethernet to IP to TCP, practically any protocol can be expressed as a StackNode and function completely.
// Today protocols represented by StackNode also include NTP, DNS, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, UDP, mDNS.
// Do note stream based protocols like HTTP are NOT well represented with a StackNode.
type StackNode interface {
// Encapsulate writes the stack node's frame into carrierData[offsetToFrame:]
// along with any other frame or payload the stack node encapsulates.
// The returned integer is amount of bytes written such that carrierData[offsetToFrame:offsetToFrame+n]
// contains written data. Data inside carrierData[:offsetToFrame] usually contains data necessary for
// a StackNode to correctly emit valid frame data: such is the case for TCP packets which require IP
// frame data for checksum calculation. Thus StackNodes must provide fields in their own frame
// required by sub-stacknodes for correct encapsulation; in the case of IPv4/6 this means including fields
// used in pseudo-header checksum like local IP (see [ipv4.CRCWriteUDPPseudo]).
//
// offsetToIP is the offset to the IP frame, if present, else its value should be -1.
// The relation offsetToIP<=offsetToFrame MUST hold.
//
// When [net.ErrClosed] is returned the StackNode should be discarded and any written data passed up normally.
// Errors returned by Encapsulate are "extraordinary" and should not be returned unless the StackNode is receiving invalid carrierData/frameOffset.
Encapsulate(carrierData []byte, offsetToIP, offsetToFrame int) (int, error)
// Demux reads from the argument buffer where frameOffset is the offset of this StackNode's frame first byte.
// The stack node then dispatches(demuxes) the encapsulated frames to its corresponding substack or subnode.

// LocalPort returns the local port of this StackNode or zero if not set/relevant.

// ConnectionID returns the pointer to the connection context number or ConnectionID.
// Stacks should store the original value of ConnectionID (dereference the pointer) on
// registering a [StackNode]. When the value changes this means the registered [StackNode]
// should be discarded since its lifetime has terminated.
