To make sure everything still compiles, we add a preliminary include
of forward.h to tests.h to make sure it is included in every test source
file. We'll clean up the tests.h includes in a later commit.
We also add a <errno.h> include to errno-list.h to keep test-errno-list.c
compiling. It'll be removed again when we clean up includes in src/basic.
Split out of #37344.
Multipath TCP (MPTCP), standardized in RFC8684 [1], is a TCP extension
that enables a TCP connection to use different paths. It allows a device
to make use of multiple interfaces at once to send and receive TCP
packets over a single MPTCP connection. MPTCP can aggregate the
bandwidth of multiple interfaces or prefer the one with the lowest
latency, it also allows a fail-over if one path is down, and the traffic
is seamlessly re-injected on other paths.
To benefit from MPTCP, both the client and the server have to support
it. Multipath TCP is a backward-compatible TCP extension that is enabled
by default on recent Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, ...).
Multipath TCP is included in the Linux kernel since version 5.6 [2]. To
use it on Linux, an application must explicitly enable it when creating
the socket:
int sd = socket(AF_INET(6), SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_MPTCP);
No need to change anything else in the application.
This patch allows MPTCP protocol in the Socket unit configuration. So
now, a <unit>.socket can contain this to use MPTCP instead of TCP:
[Socket]
SocketProtocol=mptcp
MPTCP support has been allowed similarly to what has been already done
to allow SCTP: just one line in core/socket.c, a very simple addition
thanks to the flexible architecture already in place.
On top of that, IPPROTO_MPTCP has also been added in the list of allowed
protocols in two other places, and in the doc. It has also been added to
the missing_network.h file, for systems with an old libc -- note that it
was also required to include <netinet/in.h> in this file to avoid
redefinition errors.

Optionally, accept protocols that don't have a known name.
Avoid any allocations in the common case.
Return more granular error codes: -ERANGE for negative values,
-EOPNOTSUPP if the protocol is a valid number, but we don't know
the protocol, and -EINVAL only if it's not a numerical string.
This converts to TEST macro where it is trivial.
Some additional notable changes:
- simplify HAVE_LIBIDN #ifdef in test-dns-domain.c
- use saved_argc/saved_argv in test-copy.c, test-path-util.c,
test-tmpfiles.c and test-unit-file.c
