Replace the iproute2 snapshot with a version string which is
autogenerated as part of the build process using git describe.
This will also allow seeing if the version of the command
is built from the same sources is as upstream.

No function, filter, or print function uses the sockaddr_nl arg,
so just drop it.

The '| help' part was misleading: In fact, 'genl help' does not work but
'genl <OBJECT> help' does. Fix the help text to make that clear.
In addition to that, list -Version and -help flags as well.

Any iproute utility that uses any function from lib/utils.c needs
to declare its own resolve_hosts variable instance although it does
not need/use hostname resolving functionality (currently only 'ip'
and 'ss' commands uses this).
The patch declares single common instance of resolve_hosts directly
in utils.c so the existing ones can be removed (the same approach
that is used for timestamp_short).

This only replaces occurrences where the newly allocated memory is
cleared completely afterwards, as in other cases it is a theoretical
performance hit although code would be cleaner this way.

The controller is the only module using this at the moment.
Thomas has a sample user of genetlink that would fit here; bug him
for it.
