netlink: specs: tc: drop the family name prefix from attrs

All attribute sets and messages are prefixed with tc-.
The C codegen also adds the family name to all structs.
We end up with names like struct tc_tc_act_attrs.
Remove the tc- prefixes to shorten the names.
This should not impact Python as the attr set names
are never exposed to user, they are only used to refer
to things internally, in the encoder / decoder.

netlink: specs: tc: use tc-gact instead of tc-gen as struct name

There is a define in the uAPI header called tc_gen which expands
to the "generic" TC action fields. This helps other actions include
the base fields without having to deal with nested structs.

A couple of actions (sample, gact) do not define extra fields,
so the spec used a common tc-gen struct for both of them.
Unfortunately this struct does not exist in C. Let's use gact's
(generic act's) struct for basic actions.

devconf is even odder than SNMP. On input it reports an array of u32s

sub-type: u32 is probably best we can do right now.

uAPI doesn't define structs for the SNMP counters, just enums to index

will soon need all the struct types to actually exist.

Note that the existing definition was broken, anyway, as the first
member should be the number of counters reported.

netlink: specs: nl80211: drop structs which are not uAPI

C codegen will soon use structs for binary types. A handful of structs
in WiFi carry information elements from the wire, defined by the standard.
The structs are not part of uAPI, so we can't use them in C directly.
We could add them to the uAPI or add some annotation to tell the codegen
to output a local version to the user header. The former seems arbitrary
since we don't expose structs for most of the standard. The latter seems
like a lot of work for a rare occurrence. Drop the struct info for now.

devlink: define enum for attr types of dynamic attributes

Devlink param and health reporter fmsg use attributes with dynamic type
which is determined according to a different type. Currently used values
are NLA_*. The problem is, they are not part of UAPI. They may change
which would cause a break.

To make this future safe, introduce a enum that shadows NLA_* values in
it and is part of UAPI.

Also, this allows to possibly carry types that are unrelated to NLA_*
values.
