The use of network interfaces does not cover cases where it is necessary
to use network interfaces to access different subnets.

# Source-based routing in Golang
Consider this routing table:
```
10.11.70.0/23 dev data0 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.70.42
10.11.70.0/23 dev data1 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.71.42
192.168.123.0/24 dev internal0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.123.42
192.168.123.0/24 dev internal1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.123.142
```
Simple `net.Dial` to either `10.11.70.42` or `10.11.71.42` will match the first subnet and be routed via data0.
This problems is usually solved by bonds.
But sometimes you need to invent a bicycle.
## Usage
```golang
import (
"context"
"net"
"net/netip"
"git.frostfs.info/TrueCloudLab/multinet"
)
import
d, err := multinet.NewDialer(Config{
Subnets: []Subnet{
{
Prefix: netip.MustParsePrefix("10.11.70.0/23"),
SourceIPs: []netip.Addr{
netip.MustParseAddr("10.11.70.42"),
netip.MustParseAddr("10.11.71.42"),
},
},
{
Prefix: netip.MustParsePrefix("192.168.123.0/24"),
SourceIPs: []netip.Addr{
netip.MustParseAddr("192.168.123.42"),
netip.MustParseAddr("192.168.123.142"),
},
},
},
Balancer: multinet.BalancerTypeRoundRobin,
})
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
conn, err := d.DialContext(ctx, "tcp", "10.11.70.42")
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
// do stuff
```
