There have been several instances where response from kernel
has overrun the stack buffer from the caller. Avoid future problems
by passing a size argument.
Also drop the unused peer and group arguments to rtnl_talk.
Both rtnl_talk and rtnl_dump had a callback for handling portions
of netlink message that do not match the correct pid or seq.
But this callback was never used by any part of iproute2 so remove
it.
Update the included version of the genetlink.h header to the multicast
group API and make the generic netlink controller part show multicast
groups where applicable. Also fix two typos.

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.
