Add support for TIME_WAIT timeout.
This change adds explicit support for honoring the 2MSL timeout for sockets in TIME_WAIT state. It also adds support for the TCP_LINGER2 option that allows modification of the FIN_WAIT2 state timeout duration for a given socket. It also adds an option to modify the Stack wide TIME_WAIT timeout but this is only for testing. On Linux this is fixed at 60s. Further, we also now correctly process RST's in CLOSE_WAIT and close the socket similar to linux without moving it to error state. We also now handle SYN in ESTABLISHED state as per RFC5961#section-4.1. Earlier we would just drop these SYNs. Which can result in some tests that pass on linux to fail on gVisor. Netstack now honors TIME_WAIT correctly as well as handles the following cases correctly. - TCP RSTs in TIME_WAIT are ignored. - A duplicate TCP FIN during TIME_WAIT extends the TIME_WAIT and a dup ACK is sent in response to the FIN as the dup FIN indicates potential loss of the original final ACK. - An out of order segment during TIME_WAIT generates a dup ACK. - A new SYN w/ a sequence number > the highest sequence number in the previous connection closes the TIME_WAIT early and opens a new connection. Further to make the SYN case work correctly the ISN (Initial Sequence Number) generation for Netstack has been updated to be as per RFC. Its not a pure random number anymore and follows the recommendation in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6528#page-3. The current hash used is not a cryptographically secure hash function. A separate change will update the hash function used to Siphash similar to what is used in Linux. PiperOrigin-RevId: 279106406
