Reactor Scram deefabd8f8 refactor(firezone-tunnel): move routes and DNS control out of connlib and up to the Client (#5111)
Refs #3636 (This pays down some of the technical debt from Linux DNS)
Refs #4473 (This partially fulfills it)
Refs #5068 (This is needed to make `FIREZONE_DNS_CONTROL` mandatory)

As of dd6421:

- On both Linux and Windows, DNS control and IP setting (i.e.
`on_set_interface_config`) both move to the Client
- On Windows, route setting stays in `tun_windows.rs`. Route setting in
Windows requires us to know the interface index, which we don't know in
the Client code. If we could pass opaque platform-specific data between
the tunnel and the Client it would be easy.
- On Linux, route setting moves to the Client and Gateway, which
completely removes the `worker` task in `tun_linux.rs`
- Notifying systemd that we're ready moves up to the headless Client /
IPC service

```[tasklist]
### Before merging / notes
- [x] Does DNS roaming work on Linux on `main`? I don't see where it hooks up. I think I only set up DNS in `Tun::new` (Yes, the `Tun` gets recreated every time we reconfigure the device)
- [x] Fix Windows Clients
- [x] Fix Gateway
- [x] Make sure connlib doesn't get the DNS control method from the env var (will be fixed in #5068)
- [x] De-dupe consts
- [ ] ~~Add DNS control test~~ (failed)
- [ ] Smoke test Linux
- [ ] Smoke test Windows

gateway

This crate houses the Firezone gateway.

Building

You can build the gateway using: cargo build --release --bin firezone-gateway

You should then find a binary in target/release/firezone-gateway.

Running

The Firezone Gateway supports Linux only. To run the Gateway binary on your Linux host:

  1. Generate a new Gateway token from the "Gateways" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager.
  2. Ensure the FIREZONE_TOKEN=<gateway_token> environment variable is set securely in your Gateway's shell environment. The Gateway requires this variable at startup.
  3. Set FIREZONE_ID to a unique string to identify this gateway in the portal, e.g. export FIREZONE_ID=$(uuidgen). The Gateway requires this variable at startup.
  4. Now, you can start the Gateway with:
firezone-gateway

If you're running as a non-root user, you'll need the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to open /dev/net/tun. You can add this to the gateway binary with:

sudo setcap 'cap_net_admin+eip' /path/to/firezone-gateway

Ports

The gateway requires no open ports. Connections automatically traverse NAT with STUN/TURN via the relay.
