selftests/net: Add test for timing a bind request to a port with a populated bhash entry



This test populates the bhash table for a given port with
MAX_THREADS * MAX_CONNECTIONS sockets, and then times how long
a bind request on the port takes.

When populating the bhash table, we create the sockets and then bind
the sockets to the same address and port (SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT
are set). When timing how long a bind on the port takes, we bind on a
different address without SO_REUSEPORT set. We do not set SO_REUSEPORT
because we are interested in the case where the bind request does not
go through the tb->fastreuseport path, which is fragile (eg
tb->fastreuseport path does not work if binding with a different uid).

To run the script:
    Usage: ./bind_bhash.sh [-6 | -4] [-p port] [-a address]
	    6: use ipv6
	    4: use ipv4
	    port: Port number
	    address: ip address

Without any arguments, ./bind_bhash.sh defaults to ipv6 using ip address
"2001:0db8:0:f101::1" on port 443.

On my local machine, I see:
ipv4:
before - 0.002317 seconds
with bhash2 - 0.000020 seconds

ipv6:
before - 0.002431 seconds
with bhash2 - 0.000021 seconds
