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.
