This change ensures that, in turn, we're able to "remote" all the traffic generated by the `geolocate` package, rather than missing some bits of it that were still using the standard library and caused _some_ geolocations to geolocate as the local host rather than as the remote host.
Extracted from https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/969, where we tested this functionality.
Closes https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1383 (which was long overdue).
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2340, because it allows us to make progress with that.
A bunch of packages (including oohelperd) just need the ability to
use MaxMind-like databases. They don't need the additional functionality
implemented by the geolocate package. Such a package, in fact, is
mostly (if not only) needed by the engine package.
Therefore, move code to query MaxMind-like databases to a separate
package, and avoid depending on geolocate in all the packages for
which it's sufficient to use geoipx.

## Description
This PR contains a set of changes to move important interfaces and data types into the `./internal/model` package.
The criteria for including an interface or data type in here is roughly that the type should be important and used by several packages. We are especially interested to move more interfaces here to increase modularity.
An additional side effect is that, by reading this package, one should be able to understand more quickly how different parts of the codebase interact with each other.
This is what I want to move in `internal/model`:
- [x] most important interfaces from `internal/netxlite`
- [x] everything that was previously part of `internal/engine/model`
- [x] mocks from `internal/netxlite/mocks` should also be moved in here as a subpackage
* fix(geolocate): no proxy when discovering our IP address
The use case of --proxy is that you cannot contact the OONI
backend otherwise. It is wrong, though, using the proxy when
discovering our IP address. The measurement won't use the
proxy anyway. Therefore, we need to use the IP address that
is performing the measurement. Not the one of the proxy.
What's more, stun is not using a proxy. Therefore, it does
not make much sense that http IP resolvers use a proxy. This
leads to inconsistencies. So, here's anothe reason why this
patch is a good thing (TM).
Finally, because knowing the IP address enables us to sanitize
the data, it's important we discover the correct IP.
Now, up until this point, the `--proxy` option has mostly
been a developers toy. But, users have asked us to have the
possibility of configuring a proxy.
This explains why I have been looking into making `--proxy`
right for a couple of hours now.
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1382
* fix(session): properly configure the IP lookupper
This is how I did it:
1. `git clone https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine internal/engine`
2. ```
(cd internal/engine && git describe --tags)
v0.23.0
```
3. `nvim go.mod` (merging `go.mod` with `internal/engine/go.mod`
4. `rm -rf internal/.git internal/engine/go.{mod,sum}`
5. `git add internal/engine`
6. `find . -type f -name \*.go -exec sed -i 's@/ooni/probe-engine@/ooni/probe-cli/v3/internal/engine@g' {} \;`
7. `go build ./...` (passes)
8. `go test -race ./...` (temporary failure on RiseupVPN)
9. `go mod tidy`
10. this commit message
Once this piece of work is done, we can build a new version of `ooniprobe` that
is using `internal/engine` directly. We need to do more work to ensure all the
other functionality in `probe-engine` (e.g. making mobile packages) are still WAI.
