net/netcheck: send dummy packet out to help airport extreme in hairpin check
At least the Apple Airport Extreme doesn't allow hairpin sends from a private socket until it's seen traffic from that src IP:port to something else out on the internet. See https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/188#issuecomment-600728643 And it seems that even sending to a likely-filtered RFC 5737 documentation-only IPv4 range is enough to set up the mapping. So do that for now. In the future we might want to classify networks that do and don't require this separately. But for now help it. I've confirmed that this is enough to fix the hairpin check on Avery's home network, even using the RFC 5737 IP. Fixes #188reviewable/pr527/r1
