netlink: refactor writer initialization KPI

o Allow callers to initialize a writer that will malloc(9) with M_WAITOK.
o Use size_t for expected malloc size.
o Use correct types to initialize a group writer.
o Rename functions into nl_writer_ namespace instead of nlmsg_, cause
they are working on nl_writer, not on nlmsg.
o Make the KPI responsible to sparsely initialize the writer structure.
o Garbage collect chain writer. Fixes 17083b94a915.

All current consumers are left as is, however some may benefit from
M_WAITOK allocation as well as supplying a correct expected size.

Move the NETLINK define into opt_global.h so we can rely on it being
set correctly, without having to remember to include opt_netlink.h.
This ensures that the NETLINK define is correctly set. If not we
may end up with unloadable modules, due to missing symbols (such as
nlmsg_get_group_writer).

netlink: add netlink KPI to the kernel by default

This change does the following:

Base Netlink KPIs (ability to register the family, parse and/or
write a Netlink message) are always present in the kernel. Specifically,
* Implementation of genetlink family/group registration/removal,
some base accessors (netlink_generic_kpi.c, 260 LoC) are compiled in
unconditionally.
* Basic TLV parser functions (netlink_message_parser.c, 507 LoC) are
compiled in unconditionally.
* Glue functions (netlink<>rtsock), malloc/core sysctl definitions
(netlink_glue.c, 259 LoC) are compiled in unconditionally.
* The rest of the KPI _functions_ are defined in the netlink_glue.c,
but their implementation calls a pointer to either the stub function
or the actual function, depending on whether the module is loaded or not.

This approach allows to have only 1k LoC out of ~3.7k LoC (current
sys/netlink implementation) in the kernel, which will not grow further.
It also allows for the generic netlink kernel customers to load
successfully without requiring Netlink module and operate correctly
once Netlink module is loaded.

netlink: fix IPv6 route addition with link-local gateway

Currently kernel assumes that IPv6 gateway address is in "embedded"
form - that is, for the link-local IPv6 addresses, interface index
is embedded in bytes 2 and 3 of the address.
Fix address embedding in netlink by wrapping nhop_set_gw() in the
netlink-specific nl_set_nexthop_gw(), which does such embedding
automatically.

netlink: add netlink support

Netlinks is a communication protocol currently used in Linux kernel to modify,
read and subscribe for nearly all networking state. Interfaces, addresses, routes,
firewall, fibs, vnets, etc are controlled via netlink.
It is async, TLV-based protocol, providing 1-1 and 1-many communications.

The current implementation supports the subset of NETLINK_ROUTE
family. To be more specific, the following is supported:
* Dumps:
- routes
- nexthops / nexthop groups
- interfaces
- interface addresses
- neighbors (arp/ndp)
* Notifications:
- interface arrival/departure
- interface address arrival/departure
- route addition/deletion
* Modifications:
- adding/deleting routes
- adding/deleting nexthops/nexthops groups
- adding/deleting neghbors
- adding/deleting interfaces (basic support only)
* Rtsock interaction
- route events are bridged both ways

The implementation also supports the NETLINK_GENERIC family framework.

Implementation notes:
Netlink is implemented via loadable/unloadable kernel module,
not touching many kernel parts.
Each netlink socket uses dedicated taskqueue to support async operations
that can sleep, such as interface creation. All message processing is
performed within these taskqueues.

Compatibility:
Most of the Netlink data models specified above maps to FreeBSD concepts
nicely. Unmodified ip(8) binary correctly works with
interfaces, addresses, routes, nexthops and nexthop groups. Some
software such as net/bird require header-only modifications to compile
and work with FreeBSD netlink.
