Thomas Eizinger 4ae64f0257 fix(connlib): index forwarded DNS queries by ID + socket (#6233)
When forwarding DNS queries, we need to remember the original source
socket in order to send the response back. Previously, this mapping was
indexed by the DNS query ID. As it turns out, at least Windows doesn't
have a global DNS query ID counter and may reuse them across different
DNS servers. If that happens and two of these queries overlap, then we
match the wrong responses together.

In the best case, this produces bad DNS results on the client. In the
worst case, those queries were for DNS servers with different IP
versions in which case we triggered a panic in connlib further down the
stack where we created the IP packet for the response.

To fix this, we first and foremost remove the explicit `panic!` from the
`make::` functions in `ip-packet`. Originally, these functions were only
used in tests but we started to use them in production code too and
unfortunately forgot about this panic. By introducing a `Result`, all
call-sites are made aware that this can fail.

Second, we fix the actual indexing into the data structure for forwarded
DNS queries to also include the DNS server's socket. This ensures we
don't treat the DNS query IDs as globally unique.

Third, we replace the panicking path in
`try_handle_forwarded_dns_response` with a log statement, meaning if the
above assumption turns out wrong for some reason, we still don't panic
and simply don't handle the packet.
