Nearly? Oh come on... you know it ain't possible, period.
Ping (ICMP) operates at the IP level. An unprivileged socket, which is
what user-net (slirp) uses can only send/receive packets at the ported
protocols level, which means UDP or TCP.
Of course, why ping? If all you need to do is validate connectivity,
find some ported protocol service to connect to in order to validate
connectivity.
If non-ported protocols like ICMP must be supported use tun/tap.
