Donald points out that we don't check for overflows.
Stash the length of the message on nlmsg_pid (nlmsg_seq would
do as well). This allows the attribute helpers to remain
self-contained (no extra arguments). Also let the put
helpers continue to return nothing. The error is checked
only in (newly introduced) ynl_msg_end().

All YNL parsing code expects a pointer to struct ynl_parse_arg AKA yarg.
For dump was pass in struct ynl_dump_state, which works fine, because
struct ynl_dump_state and struct ynl_parse_arg have identical layout
for the members that matter.. but it's a bit hacky.

Don't use mnl attr helpers, we're trying to remove the libmnl
dependency. Create both signed and unsigned helpers, libmnl
had unsigned helpers, so code generator no longer needs
the mnl_type() hack.
The new helpers are written from first principles, but are
hopefully not too buggy.

The temporary auto-int helpers are not really correct.
We can't treat signed and unsigned ints the same when
determining whether we need full 8B. I realized this
before sending the patch to add support in libmnl.
Unfortunately, that patch has not been merged,
so time to fix our local helpers. Use the mnl* name
for now, subsequent patches will address that.

ynl.h has a growing amount of "internal" stuff, which may confuse
users who try to take a look at the external API. Currently the
internals are at the bottom of the file with a banner in between,
but this arrangement makes it hard to add external APIs / inline
helpers which need internal definitions.
Move internals to a separate header.
