selftests: forwarding: lib: Add in_ns()
In order to run a certain command inside another network namespace, it's possible to use "ip netns exec ns command". However then one can't use functions defined in lib.sh or a test suite. One option is to do "ip netns exec ns bash -c command", provided that all functions that one wishes to use (and their dependencies) are published using "export -f". That may not be practical. Therefore, introduce a helper in_ns(), which wraps a given command in a boilerplate of "ip netns exec" and "source lib.sh", thus making all library functions available. (Custom functions that a script wishes to run within a namespace still need to be exported.) Because quotes in "$@" aren't recognized in heredoc, hand-expand the array in an explicit for loop, leveraging printf %q to handle proper quoting.
