cover selftests: add more PMTU tests

The current selftests for PMTU cover VTI tunnels, but there's nothing about the generation and handling of PMTU exceptions by intermediate routers. This series adds and improves existing helpers, then adds IPv4 and IPv6 selftests with a setup involving an intermediate router.

Joint work with Stefano Brivio.

PATCH 1/3 selftests: pmtu: Introduce check_pmtu_value()

From: Stefano Brivio <[email protected]>

Introduce and use a function that checks PMTU values against expected values and logs error messages, to remove some clutter.

PATCH 2/3 selftests: pmtu: extend MTU parsing helper to locked MTU

In reply to Sabrina Dubroca

The mtu_parse helper introduced in commit f2c929feeccd ("selftests:
pmtu: Factor out MTU parsing helper") can only handle "mtu 1234", but not "mtu lock 1234". Extend it, so that we can do IPv4 tests with PMTU smaller than net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu
