PATCH v3 1/1 selftests/net: big_tcp: return xfail on slow machines

After debugging the following output for big_tcp.sh on a board:

CLI GSO | GW GRO | GW GSO | SER GRO

on        on       on       on      : [PASS]
on        off      on       off     : [PASS]
off       on       on       on      : [FAIL_on_link1]
on        on       off      on      : [FAIL_on_link1]

Davide Caratti found that by default the test duration 1s is too short in slow systems to reach the correct cwd size necessary for tcp/ip to generate at least one packet bigger than 65536 (matching the iptables match on length rule the test evaluates)

This skips (with xfail) the aforementioned failing combinations when KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW is set. For that the test has been modified to use facilities from net/lib.sh.

The new output for the test will look like this (example with a forced XFAIL)

Testing for BIG TCP:
CLI GSO | GW GRO | GW GSO | SER GRO
TEST: on on on on [ OK ]
TEST: on off on off [ OK ]
TEST: off on on on [XFAIL]

Fixes a19747c3b9bf ("selftests: net: let big_tcp test cope with slow env")

---
Changes in v3:
- Added 12 characters of length to the Fixes: tag
- Exit test on the first fail

Changes in v2:
- Don't break the loop and use lib.sh facilities (thanks Peter Machata)
- Rephrased the subject from "longer netperf session on slow machines"
as the patch is not configuring a longer session but skipping
- Added tags and SOB and the Fixes: hash (thank you Davide Caratti)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/b800a71479a24a4142542051636e980c3b547434.1739794830.git.pablmart@redhat.com/

You can drop the final test. log_test() already ends with a "return $RET", which has the same effect.
