Core change: We were hashing 4 bytes of the address. Even for IPv6 addresses. Oops.

nhg_compare_nexthops
needs to descend into->resolved
(cf. #16970, but that PR is also incomplete)Unfortunately the test should only go red if both the compare and the hash are broken at the same time, so I'd prefer to also fix NHG comparison to see if fixing that (and having the hash broken) makes the test go green to validate that. But fixing the compare needs a bit more work (I'll keep updating this PR)
