Zoltan Papp 04c3d19032 [client] Skip firewall ruleset rebuild when config is unchanged (#6508)
* [client] Skip firewall ruleset rebuild when config is unchanged

ApplyFiltering rebuilt every peer and route ACL and flushed the firewall
on every sync, with no guard for an unchanged configuration. Management
re-sends the same network map far more often than it actually changes
(account-wide updates, peer meta churn), so on busy accounts this is the
dominant client-side cost of redundant syncs — especially with a large
route set and a userspace firewall.

Hash the inputs ApplyFiltering consumes (peer rules, route rules, the
empty flag and the dns-route feature flag) and skip the rebuild + flush
when the hash matches the last successfully applied update. Mirrors the
guard the DNS server already uses (previousConfigHash). The hash is only
recorded after apply and flush both succeed, so a failed update is not
skipped on the next (possibly identical) sync and gets a chance to
reconcile the firewall state.

* [client] Include config hash in ACL skip debug log

* [client] Include RoutesFirewallRulesIsEmpty in firewall config hash

* [client] Add benchmarks for firewall config hash computation
