Brad Fitzpatrick 7bb87d3614 derp/derpserver, cmd/derper: add /debug/clients/ page listing connected clients
The derper debug pages had no way to see which clients were connected.
The expvar gauges only give counts, /debug/check only says whether the
counts agree, and /debug/traffic only reports connections that moved
bytes since its last tick, and only if ss is installed.

Add /debug/clients/, which by default serves an index page with a form
to pick one of four filters: ?all lists every connection, ?ip=1.2.3.4
and ?cidr=1.2.0.0/16 list connections from an address or prefix, and
?key=nodekey:... lists the connection(s) for one node key. Each row
shows the connection number, key, remote address, connection age,
flags (home, mesh, prober, notideal, dup/active/disabled), protocol
version, app name, per-connection rx/tx packet and byte counts, and
the estimated unique sender count.

Big derpers have far too many connections for one page, so results
are paginated with keyset cursors rather than page numbers: sort=key,
ip, conn, rx, tx, rxpkts, or txpkts (with a leading - for descending)
picks the walk order, limit=N the page size, and after=X resumes after
that value of the sort field. The next-page links add afterconn=N so a
page boundary that falls among connections sharing a value (duplicate
keys, one IP with many ports, equal counters) resumes exactly. Column
headers link to the other sort orders.

The walk under Server.mu does only a filter match, a cursor comparison,
and at most a bounded-heap operation per connection, so connections
before the cursor are discarded without being copied and at most limit
entries are ever kept. Only the summary counts (matching connections
and keys) look at every connection. Snapshots are taken and the page
rendered after the lock is released, so a slow debug client can't
stall the server. A benchmark with 100k connections takes about 10ms
per page.

There were no per-connection traffic counters before, only the
server-wide ones, so sclient gains four atomic.Uint64 counters (rx/tx
packets and bytes, counting data packets like the server-wide ones)
bumped alongside them. That's 32 bytes per connection. For the counter
sorts, the value is loaded once per connection during the walk and
used for both the cursor test and the heap order, so the order stays
consistent while the counters keep changing.

The sclient preferred field becomes an atomic.Bool so the page can
report which connections are the client's home DERP; it was previously
only touched by the run goroutine.
