The attribute WGALLOWEDIP_A_IPADDR can contain either an IPv4
or an IPv6 address depending on WGALLOWEDIP_A_FAMILY, however
in practice it is enough to look at the attribute length.
This patch implements an ipv4-or-v6 display hint, that can
deal with this kind of attribute.
It only implements this display hint for genetlink-legacy, it
can be added to other protocol variants if needed, but we don't
want to encourage it's use.

This patch adds support for decoding hex input, so
that binary attributes can be read through --json.
Example (using future wireguard.yaml):
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family wireguard \
--do set-device --json '{"ifindex":3,
"private-key":"2a ae 6c 35 c9 4f cf <... to 32 bytes>"}'
In order to somewhat mirror what is done in _formatted_string(),
then for non-binary attributes attempt to convert it to an int.

Some attribute-set have a documentation (doc:), but it was not displayed
in the RST / HTML version. Such field can be found in ethtool, netdev,
tcp_metrics and team YAML files.
Only the 'name' and 'attributes' fields from an 'attribute-set' section
were parsed. Now the content of the 'doc' field, if available, is added
as a new paragraph before listing each attribute. This is similar to
what is done when parsing the 'operations'.

Instead of printing line numbers from the temp converted ReST
file, get them from the original source.

When something goes wrong, we want Sphinx error to point to the
right line number from the original source, not from the
processed ReST data.

As we'll be using the Netlink specs parser inside a Sphinx
extension, move the library part from the command line parser.
While here, change the code which generates an index file
to parse inputs from both .rst and .yaml extensions. With
that, the tool can easily be tested with:
tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ynl_gen_rst.py -x -o Documentation/netlink/specs/foo.rst
Without needing to first generate a temp directory with the
rst files.

We support decoding a binary type with a scalar subtype already,
add support for sending such arrays to the kernel. While at it
also support using "None" to indicate that the binary attribute
should be empty. I couldn't decide whether empty binary should
be [] or None, but there should be no harm in supporting both.

The multi message support loosened the connection between the request
and response handling, as we can now submit multiple requests before
we start processing responses. Passing the attr set to NlMsgs decoding
no longer makes sense (if it ever did), attr set may differ message
by messsage. Isolate the part of decoding responsible for attr-set
specific interpretation and call it once we identified the correct op.
Without this fix performing SET operation on an ethtool socket, while
being subscribed to notifications causes:
# File "tools/net/ynl/pyynl/lib/ynl.py", line 1096, in _op
# Exception| return self._ops(ops)[0]
# Exception| ~~~~~~~~~^^^^^
# File "tools/net/ynl/pyynl/lib/ynl.py", line 1040, in _ops
# Exception| nms = NlMsgs(reply, attr_space=op.attr_set)
# Exception| ^^^^^^^^^^^
The value of op we use on line 1040 is stale, it comes form the previous
loop. If a notification comes before a response we will update op to None
and the next iteration thru the loop will break with the trace above.

Extend the Python YNL extack decoding to handle sub-messages in the same
way that YNL C does. This involves retaining the input values so that
they are available during extack decoding.
