      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.

      ( ) Code changes are included in a downstream build attached to an errata.

      ( ) All required testing (manual and/or automated) passes successfully.

      ( ) Related documentation updates (if applicable) have been completed.

      .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.
