docs: sphinx: add a parser for yaml files for Netlink specs



Add a simple sphinx.Parser to handle yaml files and add the
the code to handle Netlink specs. All other yaml files are
ignored.

The code was written in a way that parsing yaml for different
subsystems and even for different parts of Netlink are easy.

All it takes to have a different parser is to add an
import line similar to:

	from doc_generator import YnlDocGenerator

adding the corresponding parser somewhere at the extension:

	netlink_parser = YnlDocGenerator()

And then add a logic inside parse() to handle different
doc outputs, depending on the file location, similar to:

        if "/netlink/specs/" in fname:
            msg = self.netlink_parser.parse_yaml_file(fname)

    Kernel parser for YAML files.

    This is a simple sphinx.Parser to handle yaml files inside the
    Kernel tree that will be part of the built documentation.

    The actual parser function is not contained here: the code was
    written in a way that parsing yaml for different subsystems
    can be done from a single dispatcher.

    All it takes to have parse YAML patches is to have an import line:

            from some_parser_code import NewYamlGenerator

    To this module. Then add an instance of the parser with:

            new_parser = NewYamlGenerator()

    and add a logic inside parse() to handle it based on the path,
    like this:

            if "/foo" in fname:
                msg = self.new_parser.parse_yaml_file(fname)
