wgengine/tstun/faketun: it's a null tunnel, not a loopback.

At some point faketun got implemented as a loopback (put a packet in
from wireguard, the same packet goes back to wireguard) which is not
useful. It's supposed to be an interface that just sinks all packets,
and then wgengine adds *only* and ICMP Echo responder as a layer on
top.

This caused extremely odd bugs on darwin, where the special case that
reinjects packets from local->local was filling the loopback channel
and creating an infinite loop (which became jammed since the reader and
writer were in the same goroutine).
