bridge: uapi: Add neigh_forward_grat netlink attributes

Browse Source 
Add netlink attributes for controlling gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA
forwarding when neighbor suppression is enabled.

Add IFLA_BRPORT_NEIGH_FORWARD_GRAT for port-level control and
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_NEIGH_FORWARD_GRAT for per-VLAN control.

The new attributes provide independent control of gratuitous ARP and
unsolicited NA packets. Operators can enable forwarding for those packets
for fast mobility across VTEPs while keeping general neighbor suppression
active.
