Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 5c59df126b selftests: mptcp: join: validate extra bind cases
By design, an MPTCP connection will not accept extra subflows where no
MPTCP listening sockets can accept such requests.

In other words, it means that if the 'server' listens on a specific
address / device, it cannot accept MP_JOIN sent to a different address /
device. Except if there is another MPTCP listening socket accepting
them.

This is what the new tests are validating:

 - Forcing a bind on the main v4/v6 address, and checking that MP_JOIN
   to announced addresses are not accepted.

 - Also forcing a bind on the main v4/v6 address, but before, another
   listening socket is created to accept additional subflows. Note that
   'mptcpize run nc -l' -- or something else only doing: socket(MPTCP),
   bind(<IP>), listen(0) -- would be enough, but here mptcp_connect is
   reused not to depend on another tool just for that.

 - Same as the previous one, but using v6 link-local addresses: this is
   a bit particular because it is required to specify the outgoing
   network interface when connecting to a link-local address announced
   by the other peer. When using the routing rules, this doesn't work
   (the outgoing interface is not known) ; but it does work with a
   'laminar' endpoint having a specified interface.

Note that extra small modifications are needed for these tests to work:

 - mptcp_connect's check_getpeername_connect() check should strip the
   specified interface when comparing addresses.

 - With IPv6 link-local addresses, it is required to wait for them to
   be ready (no longer in 'tentative' mode) before using them, otherwise
   the bind() will not be allowed.
