mudp: extract send_standalone_reply() helper

Factor the synchronous, stateless "send a standalone control
packet back to the peer that just contacted us" sequence out of
send_hmac_reset_packet() into a reusable helper. No behavioural change.

This lets a following commit reuse it for the out-of-band probe reply
instead of duplicating the aux_buf / to_link / process_outgoing_link
sequence.

+ * contacted us (c2.from), synchronously and without keeping any state.
+ *
+ * We do not want to keep state for a reply to an initial/out-of-band packet, so
+ * we send it without queueing. If we hit EAGAIN on a busy socket the packet is
+ * lost and the client simply retries -- an acceptable compromise that avoids
+ * consuming server resources under attack.
+ *
+ * @param m       the server's multi_context
+ * @param buf     the packet to send (built by a tls_*_standalone() helper)
+ * @param prefix  msg() prefix to set for the duration of the send
+ * @param detail  D_MULTI_DEBUG message describing the reply
+ * @param sock    the socket to send the reply on
