Note the following API design problem that this PR brings:

Users pass a net.PacketConn to quic.Listen and quic.Dial. Currently, we'd use ReadFrom to read packets, but in order to read the ECN bits we'lll have to use ReadMsgUDP instead of ReadFrom on the net.UDPConn.
The problem is now that users might expect that quic-go will use the ReadFrom function of the packet conn. The question is now under which conditions to enable ECN support. Several options come to mind:

  1. Only use ECN if the packet conn is a *net.UDPConn. This is probably the safest option, as there’s no way a user could have wrapped methods on this struct. However, it’s also the most inflexible, as users might want to wrap the UDP connection for a variety of reasons.
  2. Define a new interface type quic.ECNCapableConn interface { net.PacketConn; ReadMsgUDP(…); WriteMsgUDP(…); SyscallConn(…); }, and do an interface assertion. This API is more flexible, but it requires more care from users: Directly embedding a packet conn type wrappedConn struct { net.UDPConn } would make quic-go bypass ReadFrom, which might be surprising. To prevent this, users would have to indirectly embed (is there any better term for this?) type wrappedConn struct { conn net.UDPConn} and then explicitly define all functions on wrappedConn such that it fulfills net.PacketConn.
  3. Require packet conns that want to use ECN to implement a UnwrapConn() *net.UDPConn method.

Currently, this PR implements option 1, but I'm leaning towards implementing option 2 (with appropriate documentation of the pitfall described above).
