Description

Currently we're using a mix of iptables, nfqueue, and eBPF to handle the Nullnet's networking.

We should convert all the iptables-like code to eBPF following the cilium model.

[!NOTE]

As stated in the nfqueue-rationale.md document, probably not all the network-layer code can be successfully migrated to eBPF

Research direction

Start by reading nfqueue-rationale.md and comparing the current iptables, nfqueue, and eBPF networking paths with the Cilium model referenced in the issue. Identify which network-layer code can be migrated and which cannot; done means the applicable iptables-like code uses eBPF while the documented exceptions remain supported.
