Add netlink address add/del

Browse Source 
Straight forward addition/removal of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on
interfaces. One thing I noticed, which isn't a concern but an
unfortunate issue, looking at the following sequence:

ip addr add 10.0.1.1/30 dev e0
debug      linux-cp/nl    addr_add: netlink route/addr: add idx 1488 family inet local 10.0.1.1/30 flags 0x0080 (permanent)
warn       linux-cp/nl    dispatch: ignored route/route: add family inet type 2 proto 2 table 255 dst 10.0.1.1 nexthops { idx 1488 }
warn       linux-cp/nl    dispatch: ignored route/route: add family inet type 1 proto 2 table 254 dst 10.0.1.0/30 nexthops { idx 1488 }
warn       linux-cp/nl    dispatch: ignored route/route: add family inet type 3 proto 2 table 255 dst 10.0.1.0 nexthops { idx 1488 }
warn       linux-cp/nl    dispatch: ignored route/route: add family inet type 3 proto 2 table 255 dst 10.0.1.3 nexthops { idx 1488 }

ping 10.0.1.2

error      linux-cp/nl    neigh_del: Failed 10.0.1.2 iface TenGigabitEthernet3/0/0

It is this very last message that's a bit of a concern -- the ping
brought the lladdr into the neighbor cache; and the subsequent address
deletion first removed the address, then all the typical local routes
(the connected, the broadcast, the network, and the self/local); but
then as well explicitly deleted the neighbor, which is correct behavior
for Linux, except that VPP already invalidates the neighbor cache and
adds/removes the connected routes for example in ip/ip4_forward.c L826-L830
and L583.

I predict more of these false positive 'errors' like the one on neigh_del()
beacuse interface/route addition/deletion is slightly different in VPP than
in Linux. I may have to reclassify the errors as warnings otherwise.
