selftests: tc-testing: rework namespaces and devices setup

As mentioned in the TC Workshop 0x17, our recent changes to tdc broke
downstream CI systems like tuxsuite. The issue is the classic problem
with rcu/workqueue objects where you can miss them if not enough wall time
has passed. The latter is subjective to the system and kernel config,
in my machine could be nanoseconds while in another could be microseconds
or more.

In order to make the suite deterministic, poll for the existence
of the objects in a reasonable manner. Talking netlink directly is the
the best solution in order to avoid paying the cost of multiple
'fork()' calls, so introduce a netlink based setup routine using
pyroute2. We leave the iproute2 one as a fallback when pyroute2 is not
available.

Also rework the iproute2 side to mimic the netlink routine where it
creates DEV0 as the peer of DEV1 and moves DEV1 into the net namespace.
This way when the namespace is deleted DEV0 is also deleted
automatically, leaving no margin for resource leaks.

Another bonus of this change is that our setup time sped up by a factor
of 2 when using netlink.
