Replacing rtsock with netlink also means providing similar tracing facilities,
rtsock provides `route -n monitor` interface, where each message can be traced
to the originating PID.
This diff closes the feature gap between rtsock and netlink in that regard.
Netlink works slightly differently from rtsock, as it is a generic message
"broker". It calls some kernel KPIs and returns the result to the caller.
Other Netlink consumers gets notified on the changed kernel state using the
relevant subsystem callbacks. Typically, it is close to impossible to pass
some data through these KPIs to enhance the notification.
This diff approaches the problem by using osd(9) to assign the relevant
socket pointer (`'nlp`) to the per-socket taskqueue execution thread.
This change allows to recover the pointer in the aforementioned notification
callbacks and extract some additional data.
Using `osd(9)` (and adding additional metadata) to the notification receiver
comes with some additional cost attached, so this interface needs to be
enabled explicitly by using a newly-created `NETLINK_MSG_INFO` `SOL_NETLINK`
socket option.
The actual medatadata (which includes the originator PID) is provided via
control messages. To enable extensibility, the control message data is
encoded in the standard netlink(TLV-based) fashion. The list of the
currently-provided properties can be found in `nlmsginfo_attrs`.
snl(3) is extended to enable decoding of netlink messages with metadata
(`snl_read_message_dbg()` stores the parsed structure in the provided buffer).

This change adds netlink create/modify/dump interfaces to the `if_clone.c`.
The previous attempt with storing the logic inside `netlink/route/iface_drivers.c`
did not quite work, as, for example, dumping interface-specific state
(like vlan id or vlan parent) required some peeking into the private interfaces.
The new interfaces are added in a compatible way - callers don't have to do anything
unless they are extended with Netlink.
