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.
