	zebra already supports several Netlink sockets which allow it to communicate with the kernel. Each Netlink socket has a specific purpose: we have a socket for incoming events from the kernel, a socket for programming the dataplane, a socket for the kernel messages, a socket used as the command channel. All the currently supported sockets are based on the `NETLINK_ROUTE` protocol. This commit adds a new Netlink socket that allows zebra to send commands to the kernel using the `Generic Netlink` protocol.
