With the removal of the NAT64/46 modules, we can now simplify the internals of our `IpPacket` struct. The requirements for our `IpPacket` struct are somewhat delicate. On the one hand, we don't want to be overly restrictive in our parsing / validation code because there is a lot of broken software out there that doesn't necessarily follow RFCs. Hence, we want to be as lenient as possible in what we accept. On the other hand, we do need to verify certain aspects of the packet, like the payload lengths. At the moment, we are somewhat too lenient there which causes errors on the Gateway where we have to NAT or otherwise manipulate the packets. See #9567 or #9552 for example. To fix this, we make the parsing in the `IpPacket` constructor more restrictive. If it is a UDP, TCP or ICMP packet, we attempt to fully parse its headers and validate the payload lengths. This parsing allows us to then rely on the integrity of the packet as part of the implementation. This does create several code paths that can in theory panic but in practice, should be impossible to hit. To ensure that this does in fact not happen, we also tackle an issue that is long overdue: Fuzzing. Resolves: #6667 Resolves: #9567 Resolves: #9552
