Make pmtu_ipv4_mp_exceptions family agnostic and add
pmtu_ipv6_mp_exceptions: one oversized ping over a multipath route
must leave PMTU exceptions on both paths.

Add pmtu_ipv4_mp_asym_exceptions and pmtu_ipv6_mp_asym_exceptions with
an MTU of 1400 behind one router and 1300 behind the other. They pick a
flow through each router (a source address for IPv4, whose multipath
hash covers addresses only, a flow label for IPv6) and check that a
Packet Too Big from the first router is cached on both paths, then
that a flow through the second router lowers the PMTU of both paths.

Without the preceding fix the IPv6 tests fail with both legacy
nexthops and nexthop objects:

  PMTU exception wasn't created after exceeding MTU (veth_A-R2)
