Alessandro Ratti e79012967b selftests: rtnetlink: skip tests if tools or feats are missing
Some rtnetlink selftests assume the presence of ifconfig and iproute2
support for the `proto` keyword in `ip address` commands. These
assumptions can cause test failures on modern systems (e.g. Debian
Bookworm) where:

 - ifconfig is not installed by default
 - The iproute2 version lacks support for address protocol

This patch improves test robustness by:

 - Skipping kci_test_promote_secondaries if ifconfig is missing
 - Skipping do_test_address_proto if ip address help does not mention
   proto

These changes ensure the tests degrade gracefully by reporting SKIP
instead of FAIL when prerequisites are not met, improving portability
across systems.
