selftests: forwarding: Add a test case for ARP suppression



ARP suppression allows the Linux bridge to answer ARP requests on behalf
of remote hosts. It reduces the amount of packets a VTEP needs to flood.

This test verifies that ARP suppression on / off works when a neighbour
exists and when it does not exist. It does so by sending an ARP request
from a host connected to one VTEP and checking whether it was received
by a second VTEP.
