[PATCH libmnl] src: attr: Add mnl_attr_get_uint() function

[Danielle Ratson <danieller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

NLA_UINT attributes have a 4-byte payload if possible, and an 8-byte one
if necessary.

There are some NLA_UINT attributes that lack an appropriate getter function.

Add a function mnl_attr_get_uint() to cover that extract these. Since we
need to dispatch on length anyway, make the getter truly universal by
supporting also u8 and u16.
