Change the nvlist_recv() function to take additional argument that
specifies flags expected on the received nvlist. Receiving a nvlist with
different set of flags than the ones we expect might lead to undefined
behaviour, which might be potentially dangerous.
Update consumers of this and related functions and update the tests.

Update man page for nvlist_unpack, nvlist_recv, nvlist_xfer, cap_recv_nvlist
and cap_xfer_nvlist.

Add two functions for parsing the iovctl config file. The config
file is parsed using libucl[1], which accepts most YAML files and
a superset of JSON. The first function is an ad-hoc parser that
searches the file for the PF.DEVICE configuration value. We need
to know that value in order to fetch the schema from the kernel,
and we need the schema in order to be able to fully parse the file.
The second function parses the config file and validates it
against a schema. This function will exit with an error message
if any validation error occurs. If it succeeds, the configuration
is returned as an nvlist suitable for passing to the kernel.

Add an function to iovctl that validates the configuration against
a schema. This function is able to assume that the parser has
done most of the validation already and it's only responsible for
applying default VF values specified in the config file, confirming
that all required parameters have been set and that no invalid VF
numbers have been specified.
