This is a first step to reimplement probert.rtnetlink in pure Python using pyroute2. While libnl supports caches, pyroute2 doesn't so we need to implement it ourselves. Signed-off-by: Olivier Gayot <olivier.gayot@canonical.com> (cherry picked from commit db46d80)
Based on the libnl implementation of caches, we now have a LinkCache, RouteCache and AddrCache. This should provide all the features needed to reimplement the rtnetlink module in python. Signed-off-by: Olivier Gayot <olivier.gayot@canonical.com> (cherry picked from commit 1773634)

`imp` has been removed as of python3.12. https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/imp.html We could migrate to importlib, but this is about python2 compat and we don't need that anymore, so just delete stuff.

When building the debian package, dh_missing complains that files in probert/rtnetlink/tests are not installed. We could add them to debian/not-installed but really we don't want them in the package at all. Drop them along with other existing test modules.

(cherry picked from commit 0499c1d) Updated to remove inclusion of test data since we removed it previously.
