[NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interface

Browse source

Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and
attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible
with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety,
this interface features attribute validation capabilities,
simplified message contstruction, and documentation.

The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone
and easier to understand.
