Bug description:
  Issue found on B-5.4.0-128-generic #144~18.04.1-Ubuntu

  This is a new test case from bug 1988809

  Test failed with:
   Running 'make run_tests -C net TEST_PROGS=fib_nexthop_nongw.sh TEST_GEN_PROGS='' TEST_CUSTOM_PROGS='''

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  [Impact]

  When running kselftests on Bionic with a 5.4 kernel, it would
  fail because of no nexthop capability.

  [Fix]

  We query the ip command help to know whether it is implemented
  or not, and we skip or execute the test accordingly

  [Test Plan]

  Running the test script directly in Bionic will throw a Skip,
  while running it in Focal will throw the test result.

  [Where problems could ocurr]

  The regression potential for this is low.

  [Other Info]

  None
