selftests/vsock: change tests to respect write-once child ns mode

The child_ns_mode sysctl parameter becomes write-once in a future patch
in this series, which breaks existing tests. This patch updates the
tests to respect this new policy. No additional tests are added.

Add "global-parent" and "local-parent" namespaces as intermediaries to
spawn namespaces in the given modes. This avoids the need to change
"child_ns_mode" in the init_ns. nsenter must be used because ip netns
unshares the mount namespace so nested "ip netns add" breaks exec calls
from the init ns. Adds nsenter to the deps check.
