optimistic DAD is controllable via sysctl for an interface
or all interfaces on the system. This would affect addresses
added by the kernel only.
Recent kernels, however, have enabled support for adding optimistic
address via userspace. This plumbs that support.

When disabling a flag, one needs to AND with the inverse not the flag
itself. Otherwise specifying for instance 'home -nodad' will effectively
clear the flags variable.
While being at it, simplify the code a bit by merging common parts of
negated and non-negated case branches. Also allow for the "special
cases" to be inverted, too.

The patch adds ERSPAN type II tunnel support. The implementation is
based on the draft at
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-foschiano-erspan-01.
One of the purposes is for Linux box to be able to receive ERSPAN
monitoring traffic sent from the Cisco switch, by creating a ERSPAN
tunnel device. In addition, the patch also adds ERSPAN TX, so traffic
can also be encapsulated into ERSPAN and sent out.
The implementation reuses the key as ERSPAN session ID, and
field 'erspan' as ERSPAN Index fields:
./ip link add dev ers11 type erspan seq key 100 erspan 123 \
local 172.16.1.200 remote 172.16.1.100

Add vrf keyword to 'ip link' and 'ip addr' commands (common list code).
Allows:
1. Adding a link to a VRF
$ ip link set NAME vrf NAME
Removing a link from a VRF still uses 'ip link set NAME nomaster'
2. Showing links associated with a VRF:
$ ip link show vrf NAME
3. List addresses associated with links in a VRF
$ ip -br addr show vrf red

Not sure why this was limited to ip-link before. It is semantically
equal to the 'master' keyword, which is not restricted at all.
The man page and help text adjustments include the 'master' keyword as
well since that is also supported but wasn't documented before.

Clarify that the optional '-' prefix of the 'tentative', 'deprecated'
and 'dadfailed' keywords has to be put right in front of them, no
whitespace is allowed in between.
In addition to that, clarify that it is valid to pass both 'valid_lft'
and 'preferred_lft' at the same time to 'ip address'.

When fixing the BNF syntax error, I overlooked that 'ip address help'
prints a more correct synopsis. This patch aligns them.

The previous man page fixup introduced a syntax error due to missing
opening bracket, which might crash some humanoid BNF parsers.

* Improve manual page synopsis and built-it help
* Use full subcommand names (e.g. 'address' and 'maddress')
* Specify when IPv4, IPv6 or both are affected
* Add lifetimes, home and nodad
* Remove any remaining excess spaces
Commit 43d29f7 substantially improves generated ip-address.8 instead of
ip-address.8.in and commit e419f2d removes the generated one losing the
improvements entirely. This commit recovers the lost changes, adapts
them to the current manual page and adds more man page and help
improvements.
