This commit introduces basic netlink support with family
registration/unregistration functionalities and stub pre/post-doit.

More importantly it introduces the YAML uAPI description along
with its auto-generated files:
- include/uapi/linux/ovpn.h
- drivers/net/ovpn/netlink-gen.c
- drivers/net/ovpn/netlink-gen.h

nit: could you specify the scope of uniqueness? I believe it is not globally uniq, it is just interface uniq, right?

nit: are you sure that the link kind is the same as the GENL family? I mean, they are both deriviated from the protocol name that is common for both entities, but is it making RTNL kind a derivative of GENL family?
