Devlink param and health reporter fmsg use attributes with dynamic type
which is determined according to a different type. Currently used values
are NLA_*. The problem is, they are not part of UAPI. They may change
which would cause a break.
To make this future safe, introduce a enum that shadows NLA_* values in
it and is part of UAPI.
Also, this allows to possibly carry types that are unrelated to NLA_*
values.

Extend devlink_param *set function pointer to take extack as a param.
Sometimes it is needed to pass information to the end user from set
function. It is more proper to use for that netlink instead of passing
message to dmesg.
