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)

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.
Add lcpng_nl_sync.c that will house these functions. Their purpose is to
take state learned from netlink messages, and apply that state to VPP.
Some rearranging/plumbing was necessary to get logging to be visible in
this new source file.
Then, we add lcp_nl_neigh_add() and _del() which look up the LIP, convert
the lladdr and ip address from Netlink into VPP variants, and then add or
remove the ip4/ip6 neighbor adjacency.
