[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnetlink notification interface

Adds rtnl_notify() to send rtnetlink notification messages and
rtnl_set_sk_err() to report notification errors as socket
errors in order to indicate the need of a resync due to loss
of events.

nlmsg_report() is added to properly document the meaning of
NLM_F_ECHO.
