Compilation error due to "Unbound module Ethernet__Ethernet_wire"

[gspadotto]

I am trying to build the repository from the master branch (as there are no binary distributions) on a Mac,
but there are references to data structures that are no more present in "ethernet" {>= "3.0.0"}:

vpnkit/src/hostnet/hostnet_dns.ml

Line 256 in ee2e5c0

Ethernet__Ethernet_wire.set_ethernet_src smac 0 frame;

I also had to comment out these lines:
https://github.com/moby/vpnkit/blob/master/dune#L14-L17

similar here, trying to build for Ubuntu:

Looks like this is due to mirage/ethernet@61dfc14

I have managed to pin the dependencies to a state that builds successfully without changing the codebase. Here is the diff I have so far

@LaurentGoderre pinning the dependencies sounds like a good initial step! Would you have time to create a PR? We could update the code to use the latest versions later (since that will be more invasive)

[LaurentGoderre]

@djs55 that is what I am working on yes but the e2e tests are failing so I am trying to resolve it

[LaurentGoderre]

#641

[LaurentGoderre]

@djs55 I believe we can close this now
