// batchWriter owns the sendmmsg(2)/UDP-GSO transmit path for a StdConn: the
// scratch WriteBatch packs mmsghdr entries into, plus the GSO capability
// state probed at socket creation. Each queue has its own StdConn and
// batchWriter; mu serializes batches from the TUN reader and relay forwarding.
//
// Terminology, smallest to largest:
//
//	packet   one element of bufs: a single UDP datagram. The unit of the
//	         returned written count.
//	run      consecutive packets planRun groups into one entry: same
//	         destination, equal sizes (a shorter packet only last), within
//	         maxGSOBytes and maxGSOSegments. Without GSO a run is always one
//	         packet. Runs are atomic: packed whole into one entry, or
//	         skipped whole if the socket cannot address their destination,
//	         leaving a hole (bufs indices covered by no entry).
//	entry    one mmsghdr slot of the sendmmsg array; the kernel's unit of
//	         success and failure. A multi-packet entry carries a UDP_SEGMENT
//	         cmsg and is sent as one superpacket the kernel segments into
//	         gso_size-byte datagrams. Entries never split.
//	chunk    the entries packed for one sendmmsg call, at most MaxWriteBatch.
//	batch    the caller's whole bufs/addrs pair, processed as one or more chunks.
