Enable tracking used MAC addresses with owner identification.
Enabling MAC addresses conflict detection when multiple entities try
to use the same address within the same network.

The MAC manager will be integrated with cluster-manager's pod-allocator
code in follow-up commits.

Since pod-allocator run by multiple Goroutines, use Mutex to prevent
race conditions on reserve and release MACs.

Integrate the MAC manager to podAllocator, instantiate the MAC manager
on primary L2 networks UDNs with persistentIPs enabled, when
EnablePreconfiguredUDNAddresses is enabled.

The pod-allocator is instantiated for each network, thus network
isolation is maintained. MACs can reused in different UDNs.

On pod allocation, record the used MAC address and its owner-id,
if already used raise MAC conflict error.
Compose the owner-id in the following format:
  <pod.metadata.namespace>/<metadata.name>
E.g: Given pod namespace=blue, name=mypod, owner-id is blue/mypod

To allow VM migration scenario, where two pods should use the same MAC,
relax MAC conflicts by composing the owner-id from the associated VM name:
  <pod.metadata.namespace>/<VM name label value>
E.g: Given pod namespace=blue, name=virt-launcher-myvm-abc123 VM name=myvm,
owner id is "blue/mypod".
The VM name is reflected by the "vm.kubevirt.io/name" label

In addition, in a scenario of repeated request (same mac & owner) that was
already handled, being rollback due to failure (e.g.: pod update failure),
do not release the reserved MAC as part of the pod-allocation rollback.

MAC addresses release on pod deletion, and initializing the MAC manager
on start up will be done in follow-up commits.

Emit pod event when MAC conflict is detected during pod allocation
process.

Avoid user-defined network name leak to pod events, as they are
visible by non cluster-admin users.

On pod deletion, remove the MAC address used by the pod from the MAC
manager store.

To allow VM migration scenario, do not release the MAC when there is
at least one VM pod that is not in complete state.
Resolve the VM pod owner-id by composing the owner-id from the
associated VM name.

Initializing the MAC manager on start up will be done in follow-up
commits.

Initialize the pod allocator MAC manager MACs of the network
GW and management ports, preventing conflicts with new pods
requesting those MACs.

The MAC manager is instantiated on primary L2 UDNs with
persistent IPs enabled, when EnablePreconfiguredUDNAddresses.

The network logical switch has GW (.1) and management (.2) ports.
Their MAC address is generated from the IP address.
Calculate the GW and management MAC addresses from their IP addresses.

Initialize the pod-allocator MAC manager with MACs of existing pods
in the network.
Preventing unexpected conflicts in scenarios where the control-plane
restarts.

The MAC manager is instantiated on primary L2 UDNs with
persistent IPs enabled, when EnablePreconfiguredUDNAddresses.

VMs can have multiple associated pods with the same MAC address
(migration scenario). Allow VM associated pods have the same MAC,
by composing the owner-id from the associated VM name.

In a scenario of primary CUDN where multiple NAD exist all with the same spec,
NetworkInfo.GetNADs return multiple NADs of the selected namespaces.

The GetPodNADToNetworkMappingWithActiveNetwork helper, assume the
active-network (NetworkInfo{}) consist of single NAD, and return
the mapping with the first NAD of the active-network it found.

This approach fall short when the given pod is connected to CUDN that span
over multiple namespaces, i.e.: active network consist of multiple NADs.
The helper return inconsistent mapping where the NAD key doesn't match
the pod namespace (NAD of another namespaces).

Chagne the helper to find the active-network matching NAD; the NAD that
reside at the same namespace as the given pod (matching namespace)

Change test to always set an appropriate namespace to the tested pod.

Extend the test suite to allow injecting multiple NADs for the
active-network, and simulating the CUDN use-case.

Not waiting for `killall` to terminate can cause the Kubevirt console
expecter/matcher to incorrectly match the negative case.
This occurs because the "Exit 1" string may prematurely appear in the output.

net.ParseIP() returns 16-byte IPv4-mapped IPv6 format where IPv4 bytes
are at the END, not beginning. [4]byte(garp.IP) took wrong bytes.

Fixed by calling To4() before, forcing validated creation via
NewGARP(). Interface prevents bypassing extracting the correct IPv4 address.
