selftests: mlxsw: mirror_gre_scale: Disable IPv6 autogen on a bridge
In a future patch, mlxsw will start adding RIFs to uppers of front panel
port netdevices, if they have an IP address.
At the time that the front panel port is enslaved to the bridge, the bridge
MAC address does not have the same prefix as other interfaces in the
system. On Nvidia Spectrum-1 machines all the RIFs have to have the same
38-bit MAC address prefix. Since the bridge does not obey this limitation,
the RIF cannot be created, and the enslavement attempt is vetoed on the
grounds of the configuration not being offloadable.
The selftest itself however checks how many mirroring sessions a machine is
capable of offloading. The IP address or the RIF are irrelevant.
Fix by disabling automatic IPv6 address generation for the HW-offloaded
bridge in this selftest, thus exempting it from mlxsw router attention.

selftests: mlxsw: Fix mausezahn invocation in ERSPAN scale test
The mirror_gre_scale test creates as many ERSPAN sessions as the underlying
chip supports, and tests that they all work. In order to determine that it
issues a stream of ICMP packets and checks if they are mirrored as
expected.
However, the mausezahn invocation missed the -6 flag to identify the use of
IPv6 protocol, and was sending ICMP messages over IPv6, as opposed to
ICMP6. It also didn't pass an explicit source IP address, which apparently
worked at some point in the past, but does not anymore.
To fix these issues, extend the function mirror_test() in mirror_lib by
detecting the IPv6 protocol addresses, and using a different ICMP scheme.
Fix __mirror_gre_test() in the selftest itself to pass a source IP address.
