    wireguard: allowedips: add WGALLOWEDIP_F_REMOVE_ME flag

    The current netlink API for WireGuard does not directly support removal
    of allowed ips from a peer. A user can remove an allowed ip from a peer
    in one of two ways:

    1. By using the WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS flag and providing a new
       list of allowed ips which omits the allowed ip that is to be removed.
    2. By reassigning an allowed ip to a "dummy" peer then removing that
       peer with WGPEER_F_REMOVE_ME.

    With the first approach, the driver completely rebuilds the allowed ip
    list for a peer. If my current configuration is such that a peer has
    allowed ips 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 and I want to remove 192.168.0.2
    the actual transition looks like this.

    [192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3] <-- Initial state
    []                         <-- Step 1: Allowed ips removed for peer
    [192.168.0.3]              <-- Step 2: Allowed ips added back for peer

    This is true even if the allowed ip list is small and the update does
    not need to be batched into multiple WG_CMD_SET_DEVICE requests, as the
    removal and subsequent addition of ips is non-atomic within a single
    request. Consequently, wg_allowedips_lookup_dst and
    wg_allowedips_lookup_src may return NULL while reconfiguring a peer even
    for packets bound for ips a user did not intend to remove leading to
    unintended interruptions in connectivity. This presents in userspace as
    failed calls to sendto and sendmsg for UDP sockets. In my case, I ran
    netperf while repeatedly reconfiguring the allowed ips for a peer with
    wg.

    /usr/local/bin/netperf -H 10.102.73.72 -l 10m -t UDP_STREAM -- -R 1 -m 1024
    send_data: data send error: No route to host (errno 113)
    netperf: send_omni: send_data failed: No route to host

    While this may not be of particular concern for environments where peers
    and allowed ips are mostly static, systems like Cilium manage peers and
    allowed ips in a dynamic environment where peers (i.e. Kubernetes nodes)
    and allowed ips (i.e. pods running on those nodes) can frequently
    change making WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS problematic.

    The second approach avoids any possible connectivity interruptions
    but is hacky and less direct, requiring the creation of a temporary
    peer just to dispose of an allowed ip.

    Introduce a new flag called WGALLOWEDIP_F_REMOVE_ME which in the same
    way that WGPEER_F_REMOVE_ME allows a user to remove a single peer from
    a WireGuard device's configuration allows a user to remove an ip from a
    peer's set of allowed ips. This enables incremental updates to a
    device's configuration without any connectivity blips or messy
    workarounds.

    A corresponding patch for wg extends the existing `wg set` interface to
    leverage this feature.

    $ wg set wg0 peer <PUBKEY> allowed-ips +192.168.88.0/24,-192.168.0.1/32

    When '+' or '-' is prepended to any ip in the list, wg clears
    WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS and sets the WGALLOWEDIP_F_REMOVE_ME flag on
    any ip prefixed with '-'.
