Subject: [PATCH] chore(gateway): require 4 cores to spawn more TUN threads
 (#8775)

By default, we spawn 1 TUN send and 1 TUN receive thread on the Gateway.
In addition to that, we also have the main processing thread that
encrypts and decrypts packets. With #7590, we will be separating out the
UDP send and receive operations into yet another thread. As a result, we
will have at a minimum 4 threads running that perform IO or important
work.

Thus, in order to benefit from TUN multi-queue, we need more than 4
cores to be able to efficiently parallelise work.
