[PATCH net-next, v4] selftest: Add selftest for multicast address notifications

[Yuyang Huang]

This commit adds a new kernel selftest to verify RTNLGRP_IPV4_MCADDR
and RTNLGRP_IPV6_MCADDR notifications. The test works by adding and
removing a dummy interface and then confirming that the system
correctly receives join and removal notifications for the 224.0.0.1
and ff02::1 multicast addresses.

The test relies on the iproute2 version to be 6.13+.

Tested by the following command:
$ vng -v --user root --cpus 16 -- \
make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net
TEST_PROGS=rtnetlink_notification.sh \
TEST_GEN_PROGS="" run_tests

Changelog since v3:
- Refactor the test to use utilities provided by lib.h.
- Fix shellcheck warnings.

Changelog since v2:
- Move the test case to a separate file.

Changelog since v1:
- Skip the test if the iproute2 is too old.
