selftests: fib_nexthops: test stale has_v4 on nexthop replace

Add test cases that exercise the scenario where an IPv6 nexthop is
replaced with an IPv4 nexthop while being part of a group. The group's
has_v4 flag must be updated so that subsequent IPv6 route additions are
properly rejected.

Two cases are covered:
  1. Gateway nexthop replaced across families with an existing IPv6
     route on the group (rejected by fib6_check_nh_list).
  2. Blackhole nexthop replaced across families with no existing IPv6
     route on the group (fib6_check_nh_list returns early) — this is
     the path that triggers a NULL ptr deref without the kernel fix.
