[Bloat] wireguard almost takes a bullet

My hat is off to jason for sinking a frantic week into vastly
improving that wireguard implementation, and I hope he and his team
gets caught up on sleep now.

And, more importantly, netperf provides a lot of features that iperf
doesn't; such as dumping TCP info, setting congestion control, etc -
