Currently, the `ip macsec` 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.

since kernel driver has valid default values for 'cipher' and 'icvlen',
there is no need for requiring users to specify both of them when a new
link is added. Also, prompt an error message and exit with appropriate
exit status in case of unsupported cipher suite.
