tcp, udp: Don't pre-fill IPv4 destination address in headers

Browse Source 
Because packets sent on the tap interface will always be going to the
guest/namespace, we more-or-less know what address they'll be going to.  So
we pre-fill this destination address in our header buffers for IPv4.  We
can't do the same for IPv6 because we could need either the global or
link-local address for the guest.  In future we're going to want more
flexibility for the destination address, so this pre-filling will get in
the way.

Change the flow so we always fill in the IPv4 destination address for each
packet, rather than prefilling it from proto_update_l2_buf().  In fact for
TCP we already redundantly filled the destination for each packet anyway.
