bridge: Add selective forwarding of gratuitous neighbor announcements

The existing neighbor suppression unconditionally suppresses gratuitous
ARPs and unsolicited Neighbor Advertisements, which prevents fast
mobility of hosts between VTEPs.

Add the neigh_forward_grat option to allow selective control of gratuitous
neighbor announcements. When neigh_suppress is enabled but
neigh_forward_grat is disabled (default), gratuitous announcements are
suppressed. When neigh_forward_grat is enabled, gratuitous announcements
are forwarded while regular neighbor discovery remains suppressed.

The implementation provides per-output-port control by:
1. Adding a 'grat_arp' flag to BR_INPUT_SKB_CB to mark gratuitous ARPs and
   unsolicited NAs.
2. Setting both grat_arp and proxyarp_replied flags in
   br_do_proxy_suppress_arp() and br_do_suppress_nd() when gratuitous
   packets are detected.
3. Checking neigh_forward_grat per output port during flooding:
   - For gratuitous ARPs/NAs: suppress unless the output port has
     neigh_forward_grat enabled.
   - For regular ARPs/NDs: maintain existing behavior.

This allows gratuitous announcements from any input port to be selectively
forwarded based on each output port's individual neigh_forward_grat
setting, enabling gratuitous neighbor announcements to be flooded to the
VXLAN fabric.

Regular neighbor discovery (ARP requests, NS queries, solicited replies)
remains controlled by neigh_suppress and is unaffected.
