The scripts require Python 3 and some distros are dropping
Python 2 support.

The CLI script tries to validate jsonschema by default.
It's seems better to validate too many times than too few.
However, when copying the scripts to random servers having
to install jsonschema is tedious. Load jsonschema via
importlib, and let the user opt out.

When I wrote the first version of the Python code I was quite
excited that we can generate class methods directly from the
spec. Unfortunately we need to use valid identifiers for method
names (specifically no dashes are allowed). Don't reuse those
names on the CLI, it's much more natural to use the operation
names exactly as listed in the spec.
Instead of:
./cli --do rings_get
use:
./cli --do rings-get

One of my favorite features of the Netlink specs is that they
make decoding structured extack a ton easier.
Implement pretty printing bad attribute names in YNL.
For example it will now say:
'bad-attr': '.header.flags'
rather than the useless:
'bad-attr-offs': 32
Proof:
$ ./cli.py --spec ethtool.yaml --do rings_get \
--json '{"header":{"dev-index":1, "flags":4}}'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 68 (52) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22 extack: {'msg': 'reserved bit set',
'bad-attr': '.header.flags'}

There's a lot of copy and pasting going on between the "cli"
and code gen when it comes to representing the parsed spec.
Create a library which both can use.

Move the CLI code out of samples/ and the library part
of it into tools/net/ynl/lib/. This way we can start
sharing some code with the code gen.
Initially I thought that code gen is too C-specific to
share anything but basic stuff like calculating values
for enums can easily be shared.

An earlier fix tried to address generated code jumping around
one code-gen run to another. Turns out dict()s are already
ordered since Python 3.7, the problem is that we iterate over
operation modes using a set(). Sets are unordered in Python.

When rendering code we should walk the ops in the order in which
they are declared in the spec. This is both more intuitive and
prevents code from jumping around when hashing in the dict changes.

ops_list contains all the operations, but the main iteration use
case is to walk only ops which define attrs. Rename ops_list to
msg_list, because now it looks like the contents are the same,
just the format is different. While at it convert from tuple
to just keys, none of the users care about the name of the op.

Lorenzo reports that after switching from enum to flags netdev
family lost ability to render kdoc (and the enum contents got
generally garbled).
Combine the flags and enum handling in uAPI handling.

Add a CLI sample which can take in arbitrary request
in JSON format, convert it to Netlink and do the inverse
for output.
It's meant as a development tool primarily and perhaps
for selftests which need to tickle netlink in a special way.

Code generators to turn Netlink specs into C code.
I'm definitely not proud of it.
The main generator is in Python, there's a bash script
to regen all code-gen'ed files in tree after making
spec changes.
