[bug#65845] [PATCH] gnu: Add netperf.

* gnu/packages/networking.scm (netperf): New variable.

originally i added this to as a dependency for flint, but i got stuck with flint
packaging (it wants to invoke binaries from the PATH).

the itch is gone that originally initiated my packaging, so flint probably won't
be finished by me, but netperf is useful by itself.
