tests/shell: skip test in rootless that hit socket buffer size limit

The socket buffer limits like /proc/sys/net/core/{rmem_max,wmem_max}
can cause tests to fail, when running rootless. That's because real-root
can override those limits, rootless cannot.

Add an environment variable NFT_TEST_HAS_SOCKET_LIMITS=*|n which is
automatically set by "run-tests.sh".

Certain tests will check for [ "$NFT_TEST_HAS_SOCKET_LIMITS" = y ] and
skip the test.

The user may manually bump those limits (requires root), and set
NFT_TEST_HAS_SOCKET_LIMITS=n to get the tests to pass even as rootless.

For example, the test passes with root:

  sudo ./tests/shell/run-tests.sh -- tests/shell/testcases/sets/automerge_0

Without root, it would fail. Skip it instead:

  ./tests/shell/run-tests.sh -- tests/shell/testcases/sets/automerge_0
  ...
  I: [SKIPPED]    tests/shell/testcases/sets/automerge_0

Or bump the limit:

  $ echo 3000000 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max
  $ NFT_TEST_HAS_SOCKET_LIMITS=n ./tests/shell/run-tests.sh -- tests/shell/testcases/sets/automerge_0
  ...
  I: [OK]         tests/shell/testcases/sets/automerge_0
