The purpose of the "Periodic garbage collection" test case is to make
sure that "extern_valid" neighbors are not flushed during periodic
garbage collection, unlike regular neighbor entries.
The test case is currently doing the following:
1. Changing the base reachable time to 10 seconds so that periodic
garbage collection will run every 5 seconds.
2. Changing the garbage collection stale time to 5 seconds so that
neighbors that have not been used in the last 5 seconds will be
considered for removal.
3. Waiting for the base reachable time change to take effect.
4. Adding an "extern_valid" neighbor, a non-"extern_valid" neighbor and
a bunch of other neighbors so that the threshold ("thresh1") will be
crossed and stale neighbors will be flushed during garbage
collection.
5. Waiting for 10 seconds to give garbage collection a chance to run.
6. Checking that the "extern_valid" neighbor was not flushed and that
the non-"extern_valid" neighbor was flushed.
The test sometimes fails in the netdev CI because the non-"extern_valid"
neighbor was not flushed. I am unable to reproduce this locally, but my
theory that since we do not know exactly when the periodic garbage
collection runs, it is possible for it to run at a time when the
non-"extern_valid" neighbor is still not considered stale.
Fix by moving the addition of the two neighbors before step 3 and by
reducing the garbage collection stale time to 1 second, to ensure that
both neighbors are considered stale when garbage collection runs.
