Add a "Performance tuning" section to the network driver guide covering the
knobs that matter most for throughput on Wi-Fi lower-half drivers whose MAC
runs on a companion core: RX quota as backpressure, keeping the RX thread
priority at or below the vendor packet-delivery task, and capping the TCP
window / send buffer (backed by the shared IOB pool) on lossy wireless paths.

Update the NAT documentation to make the validation flow easier to
follow.
The existing document already contains useful details, but the test setup
is hard to read for beginners.
- In particular, the NuttX-side commands and Linux host commands can
be confused
- Some commands are redundant
- Some required steps are missing
- The Internet access example is not necessary for NAT behavior itself
Simplify the validation case to use a local topology with Linux network
namespaces. Add an ICMP test case and the required explanations around the
NuttX iptables command and interface roles.
Remove the IPv6 validation case from this doc, since the NAT66 flow
follows the same structure as the NAT44 case.

shutdown should send TCP_FIN packet.
close should send TCP_RST packet when the data in readahead has not been
read and NEW_DATA has arrived.
send TCP_FIN packet when in other cases.

CLOSE-WAIT - represents waiting for a connection termination request
from the local user.
TCP A TCP B
1. ESTABLISHED ESTABLISHED
2. (Close)
FIN-WAIT-1 --> <SEQ=100><ACK=300><CTL=FIN,ACK> --> CLOSE-WAIT
3. FIN-WAIT-2 <-- <SEQ=300><ACK=101><CTL=ACK> <-- CLOSE-WAIT
4. (Close)
TIME-WAIT <-- <SEQ=300><ACK=101><CTL=FIN,ACK> <-- LAST-ACK
5. TIME-WAIT --> <SEQ=101><ACK=301><CTL=ACK> --> CLOSED
6. (2 MSL)
CLOSED
in the current state, we can continue to send data until the user
calls shutdown or close, then directly enter the TCP_LAST_ACK state

Some third-party network libraries use PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP to add MAC
addresses to devices, and this patch can add support for this.

According to the definitions of PF_PACKET and SOCK_DGRAM,
extend the current protocol stack pkt protocol to support SOCK_DGRAM mode.
Some third-party network libraries use AF_PACKET, SOCK_DGRAM type sockets
to construct packets and send/receive data, This patch can add support
for this.

1. For `socket(AF_PACKET, int socket_type, int protocol)`: When `protocol` is set to `htons(ETH_P_ALL)`, then all protocols are received. If `protocol` is set to zero, no packets are received.
2. For `bind`: `bind` can optionally be called with a nonzero `sll_protocol` to start receiving packets for the protocols specified.

Currently the mdio communication is part of the monolithic 'full netdevs'.
This commit serves as an way to add modularity for the netdevs drivers.
A new upperhalf/lowerhalf mdio device comes with this commit that manages the data transfer ofer mdio interface.

Notes:
1. This version of NAT66 is a stateful one like NAT44, corresponding to Linux's MASQUERADE target of ip6tables. We can support stateless NAT66 & NPTv6 later by slightly modify the address & port selection logic (maybe just match the rules and skip the entry find).
2. We're using same flag `IFF_NAT` for both NAT44 & NAT66 to make control easier. Which means, if we enable NAT, both NAT44 & NAT66 will be enabled. If we don't want one of them, we can just disable that one in Kconfig.
3. Maybe we can accelerate the checksum adjustment by pre-calculate a difference of checksum, and apply it to each packet, instead of calling `net_chksum_adjust` each time. Just a thought, maybe do it later.
4. IP fragment segments on NAT66 connections are not supported yet.

The symmetric NAT limits one external port to be used with only one peer ip:port.
Note:
1. To avoid using too much #ifdef, we're always passing peer_ip and peer_port as arguments, but won't use them under full cone NAT, let the compiler optimize them.
2. We need to find port binding without peer ip:port, so don't add peer ip:port into hash key.
3. Symmetric NAT needs to *select another external port if a port is used by any other NAT entry*, this behavior is exactly same as Full Cone NAT, so we don't need to change anything related to `ipv4_nat_port_inuse`.
