src/core/udp.c

It supports receiving a packet with a zero checksum (it doesn't perform
any other checks if it's zero) but there's no way currently to configure
lwip to not checksum outgoing UDP data.  It would be a very easy change to
make if you need to though - take a look at udp_send() in src/core/udp.c
