While testing the tool I noticed we miss the u16 type on payload create.
On the code inspection it turned out we miss also u64 - add them.
We also miss the decoding of u16 despite the fact `NlAttr` class
supports it - add it.

Playing with dpll netlink, I came across following issue:
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml --do pin-set --json '{"id": 0, "pin-idx": 1, "pin-state": 1}'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 52, in <module>
main()
File "tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 40, in main
reply = ynl.do(args.do, attrs)
File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 520, in do
return self._op(method, vals)
File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 476, in _op
msg += self._add_attr(op.attr_set.name, name, value)
File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 344, in _add_attr
raise Exception(f'Unknown type at {space} {name} {value} {attr["type"]}')
Exception: Unknown type at dpll pin-state 1 u8
I'm not that familiar with ynl code, but from a quick peek, I suspect
that couple other types are missing for both encoding and decoding.
Ignoring those here as I'm scratching my local itch only.
Fix the issue by adding u8 attr packing.

Lorenzo points out that the generic CLI is broken for the netdev
family. When I added the support for documentation of enums
(and sparse enums) the client script was not updated.
It expects the values in enum to be a list of names,
now it can also be a dict (YAML object).

When I wrote the first version of the Python code I was quite
excited that we can generate class methods directly from the
spec. Unfortunately we need to use valid identifiers for method
names (specifically no dashes are allowed). Don't reuse those
names on the CLI, it's much more natural to use the operation
names exactly as listed in the spec.
Instead of:
./cli --do rings_get
use:
./cli --do rings-get

One of my favorite features of the Netlink specs is that they
make decoding structured extack a ton easier.
Implement pretty printing bad attribute names in YNL.
For example it will now say:
'bad-attr': '.header.flags'
rather than the useless:
'bad-attr-offs': 32
Proof:
$ ./cli.py --spec ethtool.yaml --do rings_get \
--json '{"header":{"dev-index":1, "flags":4}}'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 68 (52) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22 extack: {'msg': 'reserved bit set',
'bad-attr': '.header.flags'}

Move the CLI code out of samples/ and the library part
of it into tools/net/ynl/lib/. This way we can start
sharing some code with the code gen.
Initially I thought that code gen is too C-specific to
share anything but basic stuff like calculating values
for enums can easily be shared.
