Support performing DAD for any address
...as long as the network protocol supports duplicate address detection. This CL provides the facilities for a netstack integrator to perform DAD. DHCP recommends that clients effectively perform DAD before accepting an offer. As per RFC 2131 section 4.4.1 pg 38, The client SHOULD perform a check on the suggested address to ensure that the address is not already in use. For example, if the client is on a network that supports ARP, the client may issue an ARP request for the suggested request. The implementation of ARP-based IPv4 DAD effectively operates the same as IPv6's NDP DAD - using ARP requests and responses in place of NDP neighbour solicitations and advertisements, respectively. DAD performed by calls to (*Stack).CheckDuplicateAddress don't interfere with DAD performed when a new IPv6 address is added. This is so that integrator requests to check for duplicate addresses aren't unexpectedly aborted when addresses are removed. A network package internal package provides protocol agnostic DAD state management that specific protocols that provide DAD can use. Fixes #4550. Tests: - internal/ip_test.* - integration_test.TestDAD - arp_test.TestDADARPRequestPacket - ipv6.TestCheckDuplicateAddress PiperOrigin-RevId: 356405593
