Currently, tcp_ao tests have two timeouts: TEST_RETRANSMIT_SEC and
TEST_TIMEOUT_SEC [by default 1 and 5 seconds]. The first one,
TEST_RETRANSMIT_SEC is used for operations that are expected to succeed
in order for a test to pass. It is usually not consumed and exists only
to avoid indefinite test run if the operation didn't complete.
The second one, TEST_RETRANSMIT_SEC exists for the tests that checking
operations, that are expected to fail/timeout. It is shorter as it is
fully consumed, with an expectation that if operation didn't succeed
during that period, it will timeout. And the related test that expects
the timeout is passing. The actual operation failure is then
cross-verified by other means like counters checks.
The issue with TEST_RETRANSMIT_SEC timeout is that 1 second is the exact
initial TCP timeout. So, in case the initial segment gets lost (quite
unlikely on local veth interface between two net namespaces, yet happens
in slow VMs), the retransmission never happens and as a result, the test
is not actually testing the functionality. Which in the end fails
counters checks.
As I want tcp_ao selftests to be fast and finishing in a reasonable
amount of time on manual run, I didn't consider increasing
TEST_RETRANSMIT_SEC.
Rather, initially, BPF_SOCK_OPS_TIMEOUT_INIT looked promising as a lever
to make the initial TCP timeout shorter. But as it's not a socket bpf
attached thing, but sock_ops (attaches to cgroups), the selftests would
have to use libbpf, which I wanted to avoid if not absolutely required.
Instead, use a mixed select() and counters polling mode with the longer
TEST_TIMEOUT_SEC timeout to detect running-away failed tests. It
actually not only allows losing segments and succeeding after
the previous TEST_RETRANSMIT_SEC timeout was consumed, but makes
the tests expecting timeout/failure pass faster.
The only test case taking longer (TEST_TIMEOUT_SEC) now is connect-deny
"wrong snd id", which checks for no key on SYN-ACK for which there is no
counter in the kernel (see tcp_make_synack()). Yet it can be speed up
by poking skpair from the trace event (see trace_tcp_ao_synack_no_key).

There are related TCP-MD5 <=> TCP and TCP-MD5 <=> TCP-AO tests
that can benefit from checking the related counters, not only from
validating operations timeouts.
It also prepares the code for introduction of mixed select()+poll mode,
see the follow-up patches.

Rename __test_tcp_ao_counters_cmp() into test_assert_counters_ao() and
test_tcp_ao_key_counters_cmp() into test_assert_counters_key() as they
are asserts, rather than just compare functions.
Provide test_cmp_counters() helper, that's going to be used to compare
ao_info and netns counters as a stop condition for polling the sockets.

Currently, the test is racy and seems to not pass anymore.
In order to rectify it, aim on TCP_TW_RST.
Doesn't seem way too good with this sleep() part, but it seems as
a reasonable compromise for the test. There is a plan in-line comment on
how-to improve it, going to do it on the top, at this moment I want it
to run on netdev/patchwork selftests dashboard.
It also slightly changes tcp_ao-lib in order to get SO_ERROR propagated
to test_client_verify() return value.

Check that both active and passive reset works and correctly sign
segments with TCP-AO or don't send RSTs if not possible to sign.
A listening socket with backlog = 0 gets one connection in accept
queue, another in syn queue. Once the server/listener socket is
forcibly closed, client sockets aren't connected to anything.
In regular situation they would receive RST on any segment, but
with TCP-AO as there's no listener, no AO-key and unknown ISNs,
no RST should be sent.
And "passive" reset, where RST is sent on reply for some segment
(tcp_v{4,6}_send_reset()) - there use TCP_REPAIR to corrupt SEQ numbers,
which later results in TCP-AO signed RST, which will be verified and
client socket will get EPIPE.
No TCPAORequired/TCPAOBad segments are expected during these tests.

Provide functions to create selftests dedicated to TCP-AO.
They can run in parallel, as they use temporary net namespaces.
They can be very specific to the feature being tested.
This will allow to create a lot of TCP-AO tests, without complicating
one binary with many --options and to create scenarios, that are
hard to put in bash script that uses one binary.
