Thomas Eizinger e84bdc5566 refactor(connlib): periodically record queue depths (#10242 )

Instead of recording the queue depths on every event-loop tick, we now
record them once a second by setting a Gauge. Not only is that a simpler
instrument to work with but it is significantly more performant. The
current version - when metrics are enabled - takes on quite a bit of CPU
time.

Resolves: #10237

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:

Generate a new Gateway token from the "Gateways" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager.
Ensure the FIREZONE_TOKEN=<gateway_token> environment variable is set securely in your Gateway's shell environment. The Gateway requires this variable at startup.
Set FIREZONE_ID to a unique string to identify this gateway in the portal, e.g. export FIREZONE_ID=$(head -c 32 /dev/urandom | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1). The Gateway requires this variable at startup. We recommend this to be a 64 character hex string.
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.
