net: mark struct ip_header as QEMU_PACKED
The ip_header is not actually guaranteed to be aligned. We attempt to
deal with this in some places such as net_checksum_calculate() by
using stw_be_p and so on to access the fields, but this is not
sufficient to be correct, because even accessing a byte member
within an unaligned struct is undefined behaviour. The clang
sanitizer will emit warnings like these if net_checksum_calculate()
is called:
Stopping network: ../../net/checksum.c:106:9: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x556aad9b502e for type 'struct ip_header', which requires 4 byte alignment

Fix this by marking the ip_header struct as QEMU_PACKED, so that
the compiler knows that it might be unaligned and will generate
the right code for accessing fields.
