36f1678d9e tools/bpf: add more netlink functionalities in lib/bpf
This patch added a few netlink attribute parsing functions
and the netlink API functions to query networking links, tc classes,
tc qdiscs and tc filters. For example, the following API is
to get networking links:
  int nl_get_link(int sock, unsigned int nl_pid,
                  dump_nlmsg_t dump_link_nlmsg,
                  void *cookie);

Note that when the API is called, the user also provided a
callback function with the following signature:
  int (*dump_nlmsg_t)(void *cookie, void *msg, struct nlattr **tb);

The "cookie" is the parameter the user passed to the API and will
be available for the callback function.
The "msg" is the information about the result, e.g., ifinfomsg or
tcmsg. The "tb" is the parsed netlink attributes.

8d13406c02 tools: libbpf: move library error code into a separate file
libbpf_strerror() depends on XSI-compliant (POSIX) version of
strerror_r(), which prevents us from using GNU-extensions in
libbpf.c, like reallocarray() or dup3().  Move error printing
code into a separate file to allow it to continue using POSIX
strerror_r().

No functional changes.
