Instead of eagerly sending the join/leave packet when the user calls join/leave,
we update internal state and send the packet when the interface is polled.
Advantages:
- If the device is exhausted, the packet gets sent later instead of just failing and returning an error to the user.
- Makes the API consistent with everything else in smoltcp: operations only update internal state, poll is what sends/receives packets.
- Enables wrappers to offer simpler APIs with less generics. See https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/pull/3329 for an example, which is my original motivation.
The intent was to run custom code after the user is done modifying the socket,
for example to update a (not yet existing) port->socket map in SocketSet. However
this wouldn't work, since the SocketRef would have to borrow the SocketSet at
the same time as the Socket to be able to notify the SocketSet.
I believe such indexing can be achieved by setting a "dirty" bit *before* giving
the socket to the user, then on poll() reindexing all dirty sockets. This could
even be faster: if user gets a socket multiple times between polls, it'd be reindexed
only once.
- Add `medium` in `DeviceCapabilities`.
- Rename EthernetInterface to Interface.
- Add support to Interface for both Ethernet and IP mediums. The medium to use is detected from `device.capabilities().medium`.
- Ethernet-only features are gated behind the "ethernet" feature, as before.
- IP features are always enabled for now.
