lwt_ip_encap hardcodes the ping6 binary for its IPv6 pings. iputils
merged ping6 into ping long ago and distros have started dropping the
compat symlink -- Arch's iputils 20250605 ships only arping, clockdiff,
ping and tracepath. There, every lwt_ip_encap subtest fails:
check_ping_ok:FAIL:ip netns exec ns-lwt-ip-encap-1-0101330 ping6 -c 1 \
-W1 -I veth1 fb04::1 > /dev/null unexpected error: 256 (errno 2)
#217/1 lwt_ip_encap_ipv4/egress:FAIL
The IPv4 subtests fail too, because check_ping_ok() pings both families.
SYS() runs the command through system(), so a missing binary is
indistinguishable from an unreachable peer.
network_helpers.c has had ping_command() for exactly this since commit
372642ea83 ("selftests/bpf: Move netcnt test under test_progs"): it
falls back to "ping -6" when ping6 is not present. lwt_ip_encap.c is the
last hardcoded ping6 user. Fix that.
