initial commit: standalone SoftEther VPN client in Go

Built-in DHCP (raw Ethernet frames through tunnel), automatic reconnection,
host route management, classless static routes (option 121/249), DNS config.
Single static binary, Linux only.

// Package tap provides Linux TAP (Layer 2) device management.
//
// A TAP device is a virtual Ethernet interface that allows userspace programs
// to read and write raw Ethernet frames. SoftEther VPN operates at Layer 2,
// so it bridges Ethernet frames between the TAP device and the VPN tunnel.
//
// This uses the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP driver via /dev/net/tun with the
// IFF_TAP | IFF_NO_PI flags (TAP mode, no packet info header).
//
// See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/tuntap.html
