With the default TCP stack configuration, it could be even 2 hours
before the connection times out due to the other side not being
reachable. However, in some cases, the application needs to be aware of
a connection issue much sooner.
This is the case, for example, for postcopy live migration. If there is
no traffic from the migration destination guest (server-side) to the
migration source guest (client-side), the destination keeps waiting for
pages indefinitely and does not switch to the postcopy-paused state.
This can happen, for example, if the destination QEMU instance is
started with the '-S' command line option and the machine is not started
yet, or if the machine is idle and produces no new page faults for
not-yet-migrated pages.
This patch introduces new inet socket parameters that control count,
idle period, and interval of TCP keep-alive packets before the
connection is considered broken. These parameters are available on
systems where the respective TCP socket options are defined, that
includes Linux, Windows, macOS, but not OpenBSD. Additionally, macOS
defines TCP_KEEPIDLE as TCP_KEEPALIVE instead, so the patch supplies its
own definition.
The default value for all is 0, which means the system configuration is
used.

Currently, the inet address parser cannot handle multiple options where
one is prefixed with the name of the other. For example, with the
'keep-alive-idle' option added, the current parser cannot parse
'127.0.0.1:5000,keep-alive-idle=60,keep-alive' correctly. Instead, it
fails with "error parsing 'keep-alive' flag '-idle=60,keep-alive'".
To resolve these issues, this patch rewrites the inet address parsing
using the QemuOpts parser, which the inet_parse_flag() function tries to
mimic. This new parser supports all previously supported options and on
top of that the 'numeric' flag is now also supported. The only
difference is, the new parser produces an error if an unknown option is
passed, instead of silently ignoring it.

The main tests directory still looks very crowded, and it's not
clear which files are part of a unit tests and which belong to
a different test subsystem. Let's clean up the mess and move the
unit tests to a separate directory.
