selftests: net: Skip test if IPv6 is not configured

Extend the `check_for_dependencies()` function in `lib_netcons.sh` to check
whether IPv6 is enabled by verifying the existence of
`/proc/net/if_inet6`. Having IPv6 is a now a dependency of netconsole
tests. If the file does not exist, the script will skip the test with an
appropriate message suggesting to verify if `CONFIG_IPV6` is enabled.

This prevents the test to misbehave if IPv6 is not configured.

selftests: net: Add IPv6 support to netconsole basic tests

Add IPv6 support to the netconsole basic functionality tests by:

- Introducing separate IPv4 and IPv6 address variables (SRCIP4/SRCIP6,
DSTIP4/DSTIP6) to replace the single SRCIP/DSTIP variables
- Adding select_ipv4_or_ipv6() function to choose protocol version
- Updating socat configuration to use UDP6-LISTEN for IPv6 tests
- Adding wait_for_port() wrapper to handle protocol-specific port waiting
- Expanding test matrix to run both basic and extended formats against
both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols
- Improving cleanup to kill any remaining socat processes
- Adding sleep delays for better IPv6 packet handling reliability

The test now validates netconsole functionality across both IP versions,
improving test coverage for dual-stack network environments.

This test would avoid the regression fixed by commit f59902070269 ("net:
netpoll: Initialize UDP checksum field before checksumming")

selftests: net: add netconsole test for cmdline configuration

Add a new selftest to verify netconsole module loading with command
line arguments. This test exercises the init_netconsole() path and
validates proper parsing of the netconsole= parameter format.

The test:
- Loads netconsole module with cmdline configuration instead of
dynamic reconfiguration
- Validates message transmission through the configured target
- Adds helper functions for cmdline string generation and module
validation

This complements existing netconsole selftests by covering the
module initialization code path that processes boot-time parameters.
This test is useful to test issues like the one described in [1].

selftests: net: Refactor cleanup logic in lib_netcons.sh

Extract the network device and namespace cleanup logic from the
cleanup() function into a new do_cleanup() helper in lib_netcons.sh.

The do_cleanup() function only unconfigure the network and
printk, while cleanup() cleans the netconsole targets plus the network
and printk.

This refactoring let this code to be reused in cases netconsole dynamic
is not being used, as in the upcoming patch.
