We're trying to add a strict regexp for the name format in the spec.
Underscores will not be allowed, dashes should be used instead.
This makes no difference to C (codegen, if used, replaces special
chars in names) but it gives more uniform naming in Python.

Driver tests now require GRE tunnels, while we don't configure
them with YNL, YNL will complain when it sees link types it
doesn't recognize. Teach it decoding ip6gre tunnels. The attrs
are largely the same as IPv4 GRE.
Correct the type of encap-limit, but note that this attr is
only used in ip6gre, so the mistake didn't matter until now.

A number of fields in the ip tunnels are lacking the big-endian
designation. I suspect this is not intentional, as decoding
the ports with the right endian seems objectively beneficial.

devconf is even odder than SNMP. On input it reports an array of u32s
which seem to be indexed by the enum values - 1. On output kernel
expects a nest where each attr has the enum type as the nla type.
sub-type: u32 is probably best we can do right now.

uAPI doesn't define structs for the SNMP counters, just enums to index
them as arrays. Switch to the same representation in the spec. C codegen
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.

array would be a bit tedious, tell C that we know the size of these

The purpose of the attribute list is to list the attributes
which will be included in a given message to shrink the objects
for families with huge attr spaces. Fixed headers are always
present in their entirety (between netlink header and the attrs)
so there's no point in listing their members. Current C codegen
doesn't expect them and tries to look them up in the attribute space.

The rtnetlink family names are set to rt-$name within the YAML
but the files are called rt_$name. C codegen assumes that the
generated file name will match the family. The use of dashes
is in line with our general expectation that name properties
in the spec use dashes not underscores (even tho, as Donald
points out most genl families use underscores in the name).
We have 3 un-ideal options to choose from:
- accept the slight inconsistency with old families using _, or
- accept the slight annoyance with all languages having to do s/-/_/
when looking up family ID, or
- accept the inconsistency with all name properties in new YAML spec
being separated with - and just the family name always using _.
Pick option 1 and rename the rtnl spec files.
