Gabi 2ea6a5d07e feat(gateway): NAT & mangling for DNS resources (#5354)
As part of #4994, the IP translation and mangling of packets to and from
DNS resources is moved to the gateway. This PR represents the
"gateway-half" of the required changes.

Eventually, the client will send a list of proxy IPs that it assigned
for a certain DNS resource. The gateway assigns each proxy IP to a real
IP and mangles outgoing and incoming traffic accordingly. There are a
number of things that we need to take care of as part of that:

- We need to implement NAT to correctly route traffic. Our NAT table
maps from source port* and destination IP to an assigned port* and real
IP. We say port* because that is only true for UDP and TCP. For ICMP, we
use the identifier.
- We need to translate between IPv4 and IPv6 in case a DNS resource e.g.
only resolves to IPv6 addresses but the client gave out an IPv4 proxy
address to the application. This translation is was added in #5364 and
is now being used here.

This PR is backwards-compatible because currently, clients don't send
any IPs to the gateway. No proxy IPs means we cannot do any translation
and thus, packets are simply routed through as is which is what the
current clients expect.
