change network namespace for some kind of devices.

BEFORE:
The show command has additional formatting options:
-s, -stats, -statistics
output more statistics about packet usage.
-d, -details
output more detailed information.
-h, -human, -human-readble
output statistics with human readable values number followed by suffix
-iec print human readable rates in IEC units (ie. 1K = 1024).

o "min_tx_rate" option has been added for minimum Tx rate. Hence, for
consistent naming, "max_tx_rate" option has been introduced for maximum
Tx rate.
o Change in v2: "rate" can be used along with "max_tx_rate".
When both are specified, "max_tx_rate" should override.
o Change in v3:
* IFLA_VF_RATE: When IFLA_VF_RATE is used, and user has given only one of
min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, reading of previous rate limits is done in
userspace instead of in kernel space before ndo_set_vf_rate.
* IFLA_VF_TX_RATE: When IFLA_VF_TX_RATE is used, min_tx_rate is always read
in kernel space. This takes care of below scenarios:
(1) when old tool sends "rate" but kernel is new (expects min and max)
(2) when new tool sends only "rate" but kernel is old (expects only "rate")
o Change in v4 as suggested by Stephen Hemminger:
* As per iproute policy, input and output formats should match. Changing display
of max_tx_rate and min_tx_rate options accordingly.

This patch allows setting VXLAN destination to unicast address.
It allows that VXLAN can be used as peer-to-peer tunnel without
multicast.
v6: change back to the v3 except for using new attribute because
replacing command-line parameters breaks existing scripts,
based by Cong Wang's comments.
v5: rebase on the latest.
v4: replace "group" with "remote" based by David Stevens's comments.
v3: move a new attribute REMOTE into the last of an enum list
based by Stephen Hemminger's comments.
fix the usage to show explicitly that both "remote" and "group"
cannot be specified, based by Ben Hutchings's comments.
v2: use a new argument "remote" instead of "group" based by
Stephen Hemminger's comments.

Added support to ipoib rtnl ops through which one can create, configure,
query and delete IPoIB devices, for example
$ ip link add link ib0.8001 name ib0.8001 type ipoib pkey 0x8001
$ ip link add link ib0.1 name ib0.1 type ipoib mode connected
$ ip --details link show dev ib0.1

Reported by Ivan Vilata i Balaguer <ivan@selidor.net>
found that the description of the `ip link add` command in the manpage
is outdated regarding the compulsory `link DEVICE` option.
For instance, `ip link help` says:
Usage: ip link add [link DEV] [ name ] NAME
...
But the manpage still says:
ip link add link DEVICE [ name ] NAME
(Trying to provide a `link` option e.g. under an LXC container can frustrate
the creation of dummy devices which don't need an actual device.)
The syntax of the "ip link help" output was fixed in commit
"iproute2: Fix usage and man page for 'ip link'" (a22e92951d).
This updates the manpage to mark "link DEVICE" as an optional
argument there as well.

Generate manual pages based on where the config files are installed.
Add missing manual pages for utilities which are links to other binaries.
Make tc-pfifo.8 a real file that points to tc-bfifo.8 instead of symlink
which causes problems with compressing manual pages.
