forwarding.config.sample, net/lib.sh and net/forwarding/lib.sh contain
definitions and redefinitions of some of the same variables. The overlap
between net/forwarding/lib.sh and forwarding.config.sample is especially
large. This duplication is a potential source of confusion and problems.
It would be overall less error prone if each variable were defined in one
place only. In this patch set, that place is the library itself. Therefore
move all comments from forwarding.config.sample to net/forwarding/lib.sh.
Move over also a definition of TC_FLAG, which was missing from lib.sh
entirely.
Additionally, add to lib.sh a default definition of the topology variables.
The logic behind this is that forgetting to specify forwarding.config was a
frequent source of frustration for the selftest users. But really, most of
the time the default veth based topology is just fine. We considered just
sourcing forwarding.config.sample instead if forwarding.config is not
available, but this is a cleaner solution.
That means the syntax of the forwarding.config.sample override has to
change to an array assignment, so that the whole variable is overwritten,
not just individual keys, which could leave the value of some keys
unchanged. Do the same in lib.sh for any cut'n'pasters out there.
The config file is then given a sort of carte blanche to redefine whatever
variables it sees fit from the libraries. This is described in a comment in
the file. Only a handful of variables are left behind, to illustrate the
customization.
The fact that the variables are now missing from forwarding.config.sample,
and therefore would miss from forwarding.config derived from that file as
well, should not change anything. This is just the sample file. Users that
keep their own forwarding.config would retain it as before.
The only observable change is introduction of TC_FLAG to lib.sh, because
now the filters would not be attempted to install to HW datapath. For veth
pairs this does not change anything. For HW deployments, users presumably
have forwarding.config with this value overridden.

The various multipath tests use mausezahn to generate different flows
and check how they are distributed between the available nexthops. The
tool is currently invoked with an hard coded transmission delay of 1 ms.
This is unnecessary when the tests are run with veth pairs and
needlessly prolongs the tests.
Parametrize this delay and default it to 0 us. It can be overridden
using the forwarding.config file. On my system, this reduces the run
time of router_multipath.sh by 93%.

Allow the ageing timeout that is set on bridges to be customized from
forwarding.config. This allows the tests to be run on hardware which
does not support a 10s timeout (e.g. mv88e6xxx).

The recent GRE selftests defined NUM_NETIFS=10. If the users copy
forwarding.config.sample to forwarding.config directly, they will get
error "Command line is not complete" when run the GRE tests, because
create_netif_veth() failed with no interface name defined.
Fix it by extending the NETIFS with p9 and p10.

Add TC_FLAG value to tests topology.
This flag supposed to be skip_sw/skip_hw which means do not filter by
software/hardware.
This can be useful for adding tests to forwarding directory, and be able
to verify that packets go through the hardware.
When the flag is not set or set to 'skip_hw', tests can still be executed
with veth pairs.

Some users want to be able to run the tests without a configuration file
which is useful when one needs to test both virtual and physical
interfaces on the same machine.
Move the defines that set the type of interface to create and whether to
create it away from the optional configuration file to the library like
the rest of the defines.

For tests using veth interfaces, the test infrastructure can create
the netdevs if they do not exist. Arguably this is a preferred approach
since the tests require p$N and p$(N+1) to be pairs.
