test: TEST-89: assert ifindex=0 browse does not flap

Add a testcase that browses all interfaces (ifindex=0) and asserts zero 'removed' events arrive while every publisher stays up. Before the combined-answer reconciliation this flapped added/removed continuously for services present on another interface.
