selftest: Add selftest for multicast address notifications

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
