[PATCH net-next v3] net: ipv6: seg6: report lwtunnel setup errors via extack

[Gabriel Goller <g.goller@proxmox.com>]

seg6_build_state() rejected invalid configurations with a generic -EINVAL,
so "ip route add ... encap seg6 ..." always reported "Invalid argument".

Attach an extack message to each of them. The checks themselves and their
return values are unchanged.

v2 (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260918153544.1178884-1-g.goller@proxmox.com/):
 * dropped tests
