Description
We have currently disable entry eviction in the ARP cache due to missing functionalities in the network stack.
Once we introduce them we should re-enable eviction in catnip::protocols::arp::peer::background()

Research direction
Start by reading catnip::protocols::arp::peer::background() and the related issue #244 to identify the missing network-stack functionality. Re-enable ARP-cache entry eviction only after those prerequisites are available, then verify that the eviction behavior works without regressing the ARP peer background task.
