test test_v6_local_lifecycle ... FAILED

failures:

---- test_v6_local_lifecycle stdout ----
thread 'test_v6_local_lifecycle' panicked at 'get info: Ioctl("socaddr to ipaddr conversion")', libnet/tests/ip.rs:107:10

We can bring in the falcon ztest machinery in to make this better.

Research direction

Start with libnet/tests/ip.rs, especially test_v6_local_lifecycle and the cleanup path shown by the failure. Read the referenced falcon ztest machinery to understand how it handles failed tests and simnet resources. Done means test failures do not leave lingering simnet interfaces and cleanup can delete them successfully.
