      As a system administrator, I would like nmstate to support arp_missed_max, lacp_active, and ns_ip6_target bond parameters so that I can optimize bonding configurations.

      Given a system administrator configuring bond interfaces, When the system administrator uses nmstate to manage the bonded network interfaces,
      Then it should be possible to configure and manage the arp_missed_max parameter, to ensure stable connections and minimal packet loss.

      Given a system administrator configuring bond interfaces, When the system administrator uses nmstate to manage the bonded network interfaces,
      Then it should be possible to control the lacp_active parameter in order to optimize bandwidth usage and provide redundancy.

      Given a system administrator configuring bond interfaces, When the system administrator uses nmstate to manage the bonded network interfaces,
      Then it should be possible to configure the ns_ip6_target parameter, to ensure smooth network operations in IPv6 environments.

      Integration test case is available upstream

      Code is reviewed and merged upstream

      Preliminary testing is done

      .Bond configurations in Nmstate support optimization settings

      With this enhancement, the Nmstate API supports the following bond options:

      * `lacp_active`: Defines whether or not the Linux kernel periodically sends Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Unit (LACPDU) frames. You can use this setting only in the 802.3ad bond mode.
      * `ns_ip6_target`: Lists the IPv6 addresses to use as IPv6 monitoring peers when you set the `arp_interval` parameter to a value larger than 0.

      As a result, administrators can use these settings to optimize a network bond to ensure stable connections, efficient bandwidth, and IPv6 compatibility.
