IPv6 addresses with the same scope are returned in reverse insertion
order, unlike IPv4. For example, when adding a -> b -> c, the list is
reported as c -> b -> a, while IPv4 preserves the original order.
This behavior causes:
a. When using `ip -6 a save` and `ip -6 a restore`, addresses are restored
in the opposite order from which they were saved. See example below
showing addresses added as 1::1, 1::2, 1::3 but displayed and saved
in reverse order.
# ip -6 a a 1::1 dev x
# ip -6 a a 1::2 dev x
# ip -6 a a 1::3 dev x

b. Addresses in pasta to appear in reversed order compared to host
addresses.
The ipv6 addresses were added in reverse order by commit e55ffac601
("[IPV6]: order addresses by scope"), then it was changed by commit
502a2ffd73 ("ipv6: convert idev_list to list macros"), and restored by
commit b54c9b98bb ("ipv6: Preserve pervious behavior in
ipv6_link_dev_addr()."). However, this reverse ordering within the same
scope causes inconsistency with IPv4 and the issues described above.
This patch aligns IPv6 address ordering with IPv4 for consistency
by changing the comparison from >= to > when inserting addresses
into the address list. Also updates the ioam6 selftest to reflect
the new address ordering behavior. Combine these two changes into
one patch for bisectability.

ioam6_parser uses a packet socket. After the fix to prevent writing to
cloned skb's, the receiver does not see its IOAM data anymore, which
makes input/forward ioam-selftests to fail. As a workaround,
ioam6_parser now uses an IPv6 raw socket and leverages ancillary data to
get hop-by-hop options. As a consequence, the hook is "after" the IOAM
data insertion by the receiver and all tests are working again.

The output behavior for undefined bits is now directly tested inside the bash
script. Trying to set an undefined bit should be refused.
The input behavior for undefined bits has been removed due to the fact that we
would need another sender allowed to set undefined bits.

As previously discussed with David Ahern, here is a refactored and improved
version of the IOAM self-test. It is now more complete and more robust. Now,
all tests are divided into three categories: OUTPUT (evaluates the IOAM
processing by the sender), INPUT (evaluates the IOAM processing by the receiver)
and GLOBAL (evaluates wider use cases that do not fall into the other two
categories). Both OUTPUT and INPUT tests only use a two-node topology (alpha and
beta), while GLOBAL tests use the entire three-node topology (alpha, beta,
gamma). Each test is documented inside its own handler in the (bash) script.

This test evaluates the IOAM insertion for IPv6 by checking the IOAM data
integrity on the receiver.
The topology is formed by 3 nodes: Alpha (sender), Beta (router in-between)
and Gamma (receiver). An IOAM domain is configured from Alpha to Gamma only,
which means not on the reverse path. When Gamma is the destination, Alpha
adds an IOAM option (Pre-allocated Trace) inside a Hop-by-hop and fills the
trace with its own IOAM data. Beta and Gamma also fill the trace. The IOAM
data integrity is checked on Gamma, by comparing with the pre-defined IOAM
configuration (see below).

Note: When Gamma is the destination, Alpha adds an IOAM Pre-allocated Trace
option inside a Hop-by-hop, where 164 bytes are pre-allocated for the
trace, with 123 as the IOAM-Namespace and with 0xfff00200 as the trace
type (= all available options at this time). As a result, and based on
IOAM configurations here, only both Alpha and Beta should be capable of
inserting their IOAM data while Gamma won't have enough space and will
set the overflow bit.
