Receiving a message in libmnl is a somewhat involved operation. Devlink's
mnlg library has an implementation that is going to be handy for other
tools as well. Extract it into a new helper.

Allocation of a new netlink message with the two usual headers is reusable
with other netlink netlink message types. Extract it into a helper,
mnlu_msg_prepare(). Take the second header as an argument, instead of
passing in parameters to initialize it, and copy it in.

This little dance of mnl_socket_open(), option setting, and bind, is the
same regardless of tool. Extract into a new module that should hold helpers
for working with libmnl, mnl_util.c.

Devlink commands which implements the dumpit callback may return error.
The netlink function netlink_dump() sends the errno value as the payload
of the message, while answering user space with NLMSG_DONE.
To enable receiving errno value for dumpit commands we have to check for
it in the message. If it is a negative value then the dump returned an
error so we should set errno accordingly and check for ext_ack in case
it was set.

Since commit 049c58539f ("devlink: mnlg: Add support for extended ack")
devlink requires NETLINK_{CAP,EXT}_ACK. This prevents devlink from
working with older kernels that don't support these features.
