To benefit other users (e.g. link_veth.c) of iplink_parse() from
additional attribute checks and setups made in iplink_modify(). This
catches most of weired cobination of parameters to peer device
configuration.
Drop @name, @dev, @link, @group and @index from iplink_parse() parameters
list: they are not needed outside.
While there change return -1 to exit(-1) for group parsing errors: we
want to stop further command processing unless -force option is given
to get error line easily.

We have helper routines to support nested attribute addition into
netlink buffer: use them instead of open coding.
Use addattr_nest_compat()/addattr_nest_compat_end() where appropriate.

1) Rename @hdr parameter to @n to be coherent with rest of the parsing
code.
2) Use NLMSG_DATA() to get pointer to the data after nlmsghdr instead
of calculating it directly in ip/tunnel code.

It is already given for original device we configure this
peer for.
Results from following command before/after change applied
are shown below:
$ ip link add dev veth1a type veth peer name veth1b \
type veth peer name veth1c
Before:
-------
<no output, no netdevs created>
After:
------
Error: duplicate "type": "veth" is the second value.

Since commit 625df645b7 (Check user supplied interface name lengths)
iplink_parse() validates network device name using check_ifname()
helpers.
Remove redundant "name" length checks from iplink_parse() callers.

Since commit a8f820a380a2a06 ('can: add Virtual CAN Tunnel driver (vxcan)')
for Linux 4.12 a virtual CAN tunnel driver analogue to veth is available in
Linux.
This patch adds the ability to create vxcan device pairs.
