Make use of the already available brief flag and print the basic details of
the IPv4 or IPv6 neighbour cache in a tabular format for better readability
when the brief output is expected.

$ ip -br neigh

And add "ip neigh show" to the list of ip sub commands mentioned in the man
page that support the brief output in tabular format.

Notes:
    Changes in v2:
    - Reordered the columns in the brief output to be consistent with the order of the
      fields in the non-brief output.
    - changed the format specifier width of dst field from "%-40s" to "%-39s " to be
      consistent with the way width of dev field is specified.
