[GENL]: Provide more information to userspace about registered genl families
Additionaly exports the following information when providing the list of registered generic netlink families: - protocol version - header size - maximum number of attributes - list of available operations including - id - flags - avaiability of policy and doit/dumpit function libnl HEAD provides a utility to read this new information: 0x0010 nlctrl version 1 hdrsize 0 maxattr 6 op GETFAMILY (0x03) [POLICY,DOIT,DUMPIT] 0x0011 NLBL_MGMT version 1 hdrsize 0 maxattr 0 op unknown (0x02) [DOIT] op unknown (0x03) [DOIT] ....
