selftests/net: Fix tun IPv6 test addresses to avoid 6to4 range

The IPv6 addresses used for the tun_vnet_udptnl fixture currently fall in
the 2002::/16 prefix, which is reserved for the 6to4 transition mechanism
(RFC 3056).

On systems where the sit module is loaded, the kernel automatically claims
2002::/16 as a 6to4 tunnel prefix. When the test assigns a 2002:: address
to a TUN interface, sit registers a competing local route for the same
address. This ambiguity breaks the GENEVE decapsulation path: packets
injected via the TUN fd are not delivered to the test socket, causing the
IPv6-outer gtgso send_gso_packet variants to fail.

Replace all four IPv6 test addresses with addresses from the fd00:db8::/32
range, which is part of the ULA space (fc00::/7, RFC 4193) and carries no
special kernel semantics.
