netlink: add IPv6 anycast join/leave notifications
This change introduces a mechanism for notifying userspace
applications about changes to IPv6 anycast addresses via netlink. It
includes:
* Addition and deletion of IPv6 anycast addresses are reported using
RTM_NEWANYCAST and RTM_DELANYCAST.
* A new netlink group (RTNLGRP_IPV6_ACADDR) for subscribing to these
notifications.
This enables user space applications(e.g. ip monitor) to efficiently
track anycast addresses through netlink messages, improving metrics
collection and system monitoring. It also unlocks the potential for
advanced anycast management in user space, such as hardware offload
control and fine grained network control.
