We support decoding a binary type with a scalar subtype already,
add support for sending such arrays to the kernel. While at it
also support using "None" to indicate that the binary attribute
should be empty. I couldn't decide whether empty binary should
be [] or None, but there should be no harm in supporting both.

Use enum decoding on auto-ints. Looks like we only had enum
auto-ints for input values until now. Upcoming RSS work will
need this to declare an attribute with flags as a uint.

The multi message support loosened the connection between the request
and response handling, as we can now submit multiple requests before
we start processing responses. Passing the attr set to NlMsgs decoding
no longer makes sense (if it ever did), attr set may differ message
by messsage. Isolate the part of decoding responsible for attr-set
specific interpretation and call it once we identified the correct op.
Without this fix performing SET operation on an ethtool socket, while
being subscribed to notifications causes:
# File "tools/net/ynl/pyynl/lib/ynl.py", line 1096, in _op
# Exception| return self._ops(ops)[0]
# Exception| ~~~~~~~~~^^^^^
# File "tools/net/ynl/pyynl/lib/ynl.py", line 1040, in _ops
# Exception| nms = NlMsgs(reply, attr_space=op.attr_set)
# Exception| ^^^^^^^^^^^
The value of op we use on line 1040 is stale, it comes form the previous
loop. If a notification comes before a response we will update op to None
and the next iteration thru the loop will break with the trace above.

Extend the Python YNL extack decoding to handle sub-messages in the same
way that YNL C does. This involves retaining the input values so that
they are available during extack decoding.
./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family rt-link --do newlink --create \
--json '{
"linkinfo": {"kind": "netkit", "data": {"policy": 10} }
}'
Netlink error: Invalid argument

error: -22

The ynl tool uses display-hint to know when to format IP addresses in
printed output, but not to parse IP addresses from --json input. Add
support for parsing ipv4 and ipv6 strings.

for enum names and display hints.

When decoding an indexed-array with a scalar subtype, it is currently
only possible to add a display-hint. Add support for decoding each value
as an enum.

_decode_array_attr() uses variable subattrs in every branch when only
one branch decodes more than a single attribute.
Change the variable name to subattr in the branches that only decode a
single attribute so that the intent is more obvious.

Move python code to a separate directory so it can be
packaged as a python module. Updates existing references
in selftests and docs.
Also rename ynl-gen-[c|rst] to ynl_gen_[c|rst], avoid
dashes as these prevent easy imports for entrypoints.
