NAK

This skips a valid hardware setup. create_netif_veth() only creates
the interfaces that do not exist, so NETIFS naming real NICs with
NETIF_CREATE/NETIF_TYPE left at the defaults works in lib.sh - and
that is what you get by editing forwarding.config.sample, which does
not mention either variable. Such a host skips all five tests, and
the message advises what the user has already done.

Check the device kind instead; that works before lib.sh too,
forwarding.config is already read here:

        local p1=${NETIFS[p1]}

        if [[ -n $p1 ]] && ip link show dev "$p1" &> /dev/null; then
                kind=$(ip -j -d link show dev "$p1" |
                        jq -r '.[].linkinfo.info_kind')
                [[ $kind == veth ]] || return
        elif [[ "$NETIF_CREATE" != yes || "$NETIF_TYPE" != veth ]]; then
                return
        fi
        echo "SKIP: ..."
        exit 4

On a bare host NETIFS is unset, the elif still skips.
