[PATCH net-next v3] selftests: net: add ipv6 RA route to ECMP merge test

[PATCH net-next v3] selftests: net: add ipv6 RA route to ECMP merge test

[Fernando Fernandez Mancera]

As commit bbf4a17ad9ff ("ipv6: Fix ECMP sibling count mismatch when
clearing RTF_ADDRCONF") pointed out, RA routes are not elegible for ECMP
merging.

Add a test scenario mixing RA and static routes with gateway to check
that they are not getting merged.

Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>
---
v2: added CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTE_INFO to the config
v3: added CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF to the config, tested with virtme-ng
