netdev-genl: create a simple family for netdev stuff

Browse Source 
Add a Netlink spec-compatible family for netdevs.
This is a very simple implementation without much
thought going into it.

It allows us to reap all the benefits of Netlink specs,
one can use the generic client to issue the commands:

  $ ./cli.py --spec netdev.yaml --dump dev_get
  [{'ifindex': 1, 'xdp-features': set()},
   {'ifindex': 2, 'xdp-features': {'basic', 'ndo-xmit', 'redirect'}},
   {'ifindex': 3, 'xdp-features': {'rx-sg'}}]

the generic python library does not have flags-by-name
support, yet, but we also don't have to carry strings
in the messages, as user space can get the names from
the spec.
