NCM tries to batch TX packets using timeouts (500us) and does not send packets
before 3 packets are in the submit queue. Timeouts take milliseconds on
dde_linux which leads to delayed ACKs and poor performance for the RX case.
Therefore, we send small packets (<100 Bytes) immediately without batching (it
might be an ACK or last packet of a larger transfer).
issue #4958
The PinePhone Modems' CDC Ethernet Interface does not respond if RX/TX queue size
is greater 12 (experimentally determined), the default would be 60, meaning 60
RX Bulk URBs are sent at once to the device.
issue #4958
A WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK may occur when large reports are written to a file
system because this fills up the submit queue of the packet-stream interface.

This commits introduces changes to test number 4, so it must keep
more than one PKG. Also, it introduces a 5th test to verify that the
<remove_all/> functionality does delete everything in the depot.
Issue genodelabs#4866
This commits introduces improvements to the test functions to avoid
code duplication, and renames these functions to reflect better what they
are used for.
Issue genodelabs#4866
The last character should only be skipped if a `\0` or `\n` is found. If
the string ends without such a character or the maximum line length is
hit, we do not skip the last character.

Dynamically loading the `compat-libc` breaks `fork(2)` on Genode.
Switch `compat-libc` to a special api package that provides a source
file for statically linking the library, analogous to the `blit`
package. This also requires a quirk in Goa but should prevent breaking
`fork()` and removes the runtime and archive dependencies for Rust
packages using `compat-libc`.

Implement FBSD_1.0 versions of libc functions ('stat', 'fstat'). The
functions are versioned with @FBSD_1.0, and therefore, will not clash
with libc during linking. However, to be called by our dynamic linker,
the library must be before libc in the NEEDED section of the binary
using it. This requires the lib to be in front of libc in the LIBS
variable. The library currently will call libc 'stat' and 'fstat' by
looking up the symbols via 'dlsym'.

Some Ubuntu installations (e.g., 20.04) create installation disks with
strange C/H/S MBR partitions like 3988/255/2. Normally, VirtualBox reads
the MBR to guess disk geometry information for the virtual BIOS.
Unfortuantely, the strange values from Ubuntu lead to a heavy
virtual-disk activity on boot. Therefore, this commit forces the use of
calculated values based on the assumption that large disks use LBA
addressing anyway.
Fixes#4978
Adds Genode::Hex_dump class to the formatted_output.h header. This class can be
used to print a hexadecimal dump of a byte range. The data is printed in a
format similar to that used by Linux's 'xxd'. In addition to the 'xxd' format,
consecutive duplicate lines are replaced with a single "*\n" as done also by
Linux's 'hexdump'.

The DHCP client implementations of Ping originally is a copy of the NIC router
implementation adapted for Ping. The two versions diverged further over the
years. This issue should be solved by should merging them into a centralized
implementation. However, this commit treats only a recent issue with the
nic_uplink.run test on pbxa9 qemu but does this by re-aligning the two
implementations partially. The final merge should be done in a separate commit.

The Depot Autopilot used to filter out tabs and color sequences before
forwarding the test log to the own log. This commit prevents this and further
cleans up the string-filters code.
Ref #4922
The new 'log_prefix' attribute is effective when used in a tests runtime in
<succeed> or <fail> tags that have a non-empty content string. When matching
the log against the pattern given in the affected <succeed> or <fail> tag, the
Depot Autopilot will consider only those test-log lines that start with the
given prefix.
Ref #4922
* Removes the <event> tag from all test package runtime files and replaces the
contained <timeout> and <log> sub-tags with the new tags <succeed> and
<fail>. If a <succeed> or <fail> tag has a content, it defines a log pattern
that should be recognized and render the test failed or successful. If a
<succeed> or <fail> tag has an attribute after_seconds that is not set to 0,
it defines a timeout after which the test should be rendered failed or
successful.
* Adapts the Depot Autopilot to support the new syntax in the test-package
runtime files. However, for now, the Depot Autopilot is kept compatible to
the old syntax as well. If the <events> tag is present, it is prioritized
over the new syntax.
Fixes#4922
Several nightly network-related tests fail currently on sel4/pc because the
new e1000 NIC driver requires more capabilities. The "drivers nic" package
was already adapted to the new requirement but some tests fail to provide
enough caps to the corresponding sub system. This commit tries to fix all
remaining tests.
Ref #4923
* During a session-close, the device-specific usb task and driver data
gets freed. Part of it was the RPC data. To prevent use-after-free
turn it into a pointer and leave it on the stack of the caller thread
* During a device release, URBs discards, and reset operation the Linux task
might get blocked, and then a RPC caller task might return if the RPC
operation was marked as finished already, although it hasn't succeeded yet
* USB devio RESET has to be done before a device release to be effective
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4969
* Within flush_transfer of the USB session a given entrypoint gets
resetted, to be effective al related URBs need to be discarded first
* Discarding URBs shall be done in reverse order, like libusb is doing it,
where it warns about potential races otherwise

* Adds a new component server/nic_uplink that forwards packets unmodified
between one Uplink session at one side and potentially multiple Nic sessions
at the other side.
* Adds a new run script nic_uplink.run that does a basic test with multiple
Nic clients on this component and adds it to the autopilot list.
* Adds a new depot recipe src/nic_uplink for this component.
* Adds a new depot recipe pkg/pc_nic for deploying the pc_nic_driver together
with a nic_uplink server. This allows for raw access to the network connected
to the Nic of the system in contrast to the commonly used routed and NAT'd
access via NIC router. That said, it enables the use of network protocols
not yet supported by the NIC router at the cost of less protection.
