PingType enum

Path type for Diag.ping. Matches ipnstate.PingType.

disco is the recommended default — it's Tailscale's own lightweight probe, doesn't require elevated privileges, and reports the real path (direct vs DERP). icmp crosses the tunnel and uses the kernel's raw-socket stack, which typically requires root / the CAP_NET_RAW capability.
