selftests: net: add test for IPv4 devconf netlink notifications

Introduce a new test, `ipv4_devconf_notify`, to verify that the kernel
sends the appropriate netlink notifications when IPv4 devconf parameters
are modified.

The test depends on the newly introduced iproute2 command:

`ip link set dev <ifname> inet`
