    Prevent pyroute2.IPDB threads leaking

    pyroute2.IPDB is an interesting entity. It's much more than a simple
    interface to `ip` command, as it is more similar to a database process.
    When created IPDB object spawns a thread that will be responsible for
    updating the object with changes to the underlying OS. Thread stays up
    until the user will call `release()` method.

    Turns out code in kuryr_kubernetes.cni.binding wasn't taking that into
    account and was slowly leaking threads (and possibly processes). This
    became apparent when running Kuryr with CNI daemon enabled.

    This commit fixes the problem by switching all IPDB usages to context
    managers, so `release()` method is called automatically. Also the IPDB
    objects cache is removed as already released IPDB objects cannot be
    reused. kuryr_kubernetes.cni.binding modules were missing unit tests,
    this commit adds them as well.
