This adds a new channel argument `GRPC_ARG_DSCP` which allows users to
create classified gRPC streams with a
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) marking on the IP frames.
The channel argument is handled on both clients and servers, but
currently only on posix based systems.
Fixes#17225
**Background**:
In addition to what is already described is #17225, when gRPC is used in
telco systems there is often a need to classify streams of importance.
There can be multiple hops between two endpoints (e.g. between 2 telecom
operators) and some streams that are more important than others (e.g.
emergency call related or similar). By marking the IP packets using DSCP
the aware routers can make a sound decision of the prioritization.
This PR propose to use DSCP as the configuration value since its common
for both IPv4/IPv6, an alternative would be to use a config name that
includes TOS and Traffic Class.
There might be more needed regarding documentation and end2end testing,
but there I need some advice.

Upgrade apple platform deployment_target versions to fix the cocoapods
push of BoringSSL-GRPC about the following error:
```
ld: file not found: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/libarclite_macosx.a
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
```
ref: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/725300
This also aligns with the versions required by
[protobuf](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/pull/10652)
```
ios.deployment_target = '10.0'
osx.deployment_target = '10.12'
tvos.deployment_target = '12.0'
watchos.deployment_target = '6.0'
```
Notes:
- `+trace` fixtures haven't run since 2016, so they're disabled for now
(7ad2d0b463 (diff-780fce7267c34170c1d0ea15cc9f65a7f4b79fefe955d185c44e8b3251cf9e38R76))
- all current fixtures define `FEATURE_MASK_SUPPORTS_AUTHORITY_HEADER`
and hence `authority_not_supported` has not been run in years - deleted
- bad_hostname similarly hasn't been triggered in a long while, so
deleted
- load_reporting_hook has never been enabled, so deleted
(f23fb4cf31/test/core/end2end/generate_tests.bzl (L145-L148))
- filter_latency & filter_status_code rely on global variables and so
don't convert particularly cleanly - and their value seems marginal, so
deleted

This is a big rewrite of global config.
It does a few things, all somewhat intertwined:
1. centralize the list of configuration we have to a yaml file that can
be parsed, and code generated from it
2. add an initialization and a reset stage so that config vars can be
centrally accessed very quickly without the need for caching them
3. makes the syntax more C++ like (less macros!)
4. (optionally) adds absl flags to the OSS build
This first round of changes is intended to keep the system where it is
without major changes. We pick up absl flags to match internal code and
remove one point of deviation - but importantly continue to read from
the environment variables. In doing so we don't force absl flags on our
customers - it's possible to configure grpc without the flags - but
instead allow users that do use absl flags to configure grpc using that
mechanism. Importantly this lets internal customers configure grpc the
same everywhere.
Future changes along this path will be two-fold:
1. Move documentation generation into the code generation step, so that
within the source of truth yaml file we can find all documentation and
data about a configuration knob - eliminating the chance of forgetting
to document something in all the right places.
2. Provide fuzzing over configurations. Currently most config variables
get stashed in static constants across the codebase. To fuzz over these
we'd need a way to reset those cached values between fuzzing rounds,
something that is terrifically difficult right now, but with these
changes should simply be a reset on `ConfigVars`.

With iomgr, this test is effectively rate limited by ExecCtx and the
single thread running pollset_work, which results in thousands of tiny
writes happening before every read. A small set of _synchronous_ 8k
reads then dominate the read-side of the test. This is an efficient
balance.
With the Windows EventEngine, the fully asynchronous, multi-threaded
reads and writes end up alternating roughly 1:1, meaning that a read
callback is executed for every tiny handful of bytes, tens of thousands
of times. Compared to the Posix EventEngine, without things like TCP_INQ
and/or recvmsg's timeout, I don't know of any great signal for how much
data can safely be received in a batch (e.g., we don't want to wait for
data that will never come, and we don't want to run callbacks for 2
bytes over and over again if we have KB in the pipe).
I believe the Windows EventEngine is WAI. I can significantly improve
this test performance by artificially slowing the reader down (adding a
>= 1ms sleep), but I believe that improves this use case to the
detriment of all others.
* Revert "Revert "Add support for systemd socket activation (#30485)" (#31617)"
This reverts commit 867dc6cae2.
* Add checks to unix tests
* Ran generate_projects.sh and fixed styling in test
* Fix variable in unit test
* Use reinterpret_cast in test
* Rebase and fix sanity failures
* Reland x2: Make GetDefaultEventEngine return a shared_ptr
* remove thread leak from NativeDNSResolver
This is not going to work for resolvers that support cancellation.
* give resolvers bounded lifetimes
Some resolver own EventEngines. EventEngines cannot run off the end of
the process since they have unjoined threads (problematic in a small set
of environments). This gives resolvers bounded lifetimes, and allows
replacement of resolvers without ASAN issues of deleting resolvers in
active use (occurs in tests).
* fix
* fix windows
* fix surface init test
* fix
* sanitize
* use after move
* the test must wait for the callback to be destroyed
* windows fix: delete the resolver on iomgr shutdown, not before
* Make TimerManager threads non-joinable
On gRPC shutdown, any unjoined TimerManager threads will cause TSAN to
detect thread leaks. This fix resolves issues I saw in end2end test
shutdown in another PR, where a single timer manager thread was always
alive after the test ended.
The long-term solution is to integrate the new ThreadPool here, but this
unblocks me for now.
* backport fix
* fix
* shared_ptr<EventEngine> in EventEngine benchmarks
