Crate ping

Helpers to ping an IPv4 or IPv6 address by sending ICMP echo requests and waiting for ICMP echo replies.

Functionality in this crate relies on ICMP sockets, a kind of socket where each payload read/written contains ICMP headers.

As a starting point, see new_unicast_sink_and_stream, which is built on top of the other facilities in the crate and models pinging as sending an ICMP echo request whenever a value is sent to the sink, and a stream which yields an item for every echo reply received.
