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

There is no standard convention how to entitle such structures, so the question is basically of out-of-curiosity class. For me, having a sturcuture with name 'struct' is like having no name. Did you consider to use such names as ovpn_dev or ovpn_iface? Meaning, using a name that gives a clue regarding the scope of the content.

For interface functions, when the pointer assigned in such manner as `ovpn = netdev_priv(dev)`, it is clear what is inside. But for functions like ovpn_peer_get_by_id() it is a bit tricky to quickly realize, what is this for.

+	struct net_device *dev;
+	netdevice_tracker dev_tracker;
+};
