Register a netevent notifier to handle NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE events,
completing the L3 unicast forwarding data path:
- When ARP/NDP resolves a neighbour, update the hardware ARP table entry
with the resolved MAC address and notify all linked nexthops to
refresh their ECMP forwarding state.
- When a neighbour becomes unreachable, tear down the hardware ARP entry
and mark linked nexthops as unresolved so traffic traps to the CPU.
