This patch improve all the API in virnetlink.c to support
all kinds of netlink protocols, and make all netlink sockets
be able to join in groups.

SOL_NETLINK is not defined on every system, so this patch defines
SOL_NETLINK as 270.

The commit message is a bit weak on what exactly is being added. The
most details are about a 3 line change.
OK, I will fix this. :)

Maybe a little code comment as to why MAX_LINKS. e.g. The Linux kernel
supports up to MAX_LINKS (32 at the time) individual netlink
protocols.
Sure, I will add some comments. :)

I believe there is a define for this in the headers so it would be
better to use that then hardcoding a number without any code comments
to what it means. If there's not a define, I would at least document
what the 32 is and where it derives from the kernel code so that if
things change in the future it will be easier to fix.
I found that the document of nl_socket_add_membership() said the following:

"Joins the specified group using the modern socket option which is available since kernel version 2.6.14. It allows joining an almost arbitary number of groups without limitation."

So maybe a check for "groups" is not necessary. Can we just replace setsockopt() with nl_socket_add_membership() and leave the checking and error handling in
nl_socket_add_membership() ?
