Based on previous discussion[0], we determined that it would be beneficial to
rework bpf_redirect_neigh() so the caller can supply the nexthop information
(e.g., from a previous call to bpf_fib_lookup()). This way, the two helpers can
be combined without incurring a second FIB lookup to find the nexthop, and
bpf_fib_lookup() becomes usable even if no nexthop entry currently exists.

This patch (and accompanying selftest update) accomplishes this by way of an
optional paramter to bpf_redirect_neigh(). This series is against the -bpf tree,
since we need to change this call signature before it becomes API.

Changelog:

v1:
- Rebase on -bpf tree
- Fix compilation with INET/INET6 disabled (kbot)
- Keep v4/v6 signatures similar, use internal flag (Daniel)
- Use a separate selftest BPF program instead of modifying existing one (Daniel)
- Fix a few style nits (David Ahern)
