Every tool in the iproute2 package have one or more function to show
an help message to the user. Some of these functions print the help
line by line with a series of printf call, e.g. ip/xfrm_state.c does
60 fprintf calls.
If we group all the calls to a single one and just concatenate strings,
we save a lot of libc calls and thus object size. The size difference
of the compiled binaries calculated with bloat-o-meter is:
ip/ip:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 5/15 up/down: 103/-4796 (-4693)
Total: Before=672591, After=667898, chg -0.70%
ip/rtmon:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-54 (-54)
Total: Before=48879, After=48825, chg -0.11%
tc/tc:
add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 31/10 up/down: 882/-6133 (-5251)
Total: Before=351912, After=346661, chg -1.49%
bridge/bridge:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-459 (-459)
Total: Before=70502, After=70043, chg -0.65%
misc/lnstat:
add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 48/-486 (-438)
Total: Before=9960, After=9522, chg -4.40%
tipc/tipc:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 18/-62 (-44)
Total: Before=79182, After=79138, chg -0.06%
While at it, indent some strings which were starting at column 0,
and use tabs where possible, to have a consistent style across helps.

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

Common pattern in iproute commands is to print a line seperator
in non-json mode. Make that a simple function.

Expose identifier type and hook types in ILA configuraiton
and reporting. This adds support in both ip ila ILA LWT.

Configuration support in both ip ila and ip LWT for checksum
neutral-map-auto. This is a mode of ILA where checksum
neutral mapping is assumed for packets (there is no C-bit
in the identifier to indicate checksum neutral).

Add checksum neutral to ip ila configuration. This control whether
the C-bit is interpreted as checksum neutral bit.

This is an update for 460c03f3f3 ("iplink: double the buffer size also in
iplink_get()"). After update, we will not need to double the buffer size
every time when VFs number increased.
With call like rtnl_talk(&rth, &req.n, NULL, 0), we can simply remove the
length parameter.
With call like rtnl_talk(&rth, nlh, nlh, sizeof(req), I add a new variable
answer to avoid overwrite data in nlh, because it may has more info after
nlh. also this will avoid nlh buffer not enough issue.
We need to free answer after using.

Currently, the `ip ila` command tries to initialize a genl context
even when we just want to see the help for the command, which doesn't
require to talk to the kernel at all.
Delay genl initialization, which can fail if the module isn't loaded,
until the point where we will actually need it.

All users of genl have the same code to open a genl socket and resolve
the family for their specific protocol. Introduce a helper to initialize
the handle, and use it in all the genl code.
