more cleanly.

Netlink error: No such file or directory

Donald points out that we don't check for overflows.
Stash the length of the message on nlmsg_pid (nlmsg_seq would
do as well). This allows the attribute helpers to remain
self-contained (no extra arguments). Also let the put
helpers continue to return nothing. The error is checked
only in (newly introduced) ynl_msg_end().

All callers to mnl_cb_run2() call mnl_socket_recvfrom() right before.
Wrap the two in a helper, take typed arguments (struct ynl_parse_arg),
instead of hoping that all callers remember that parser error handling
requires yarg.
In case of ynl_sock_read_family() we will no longer check for kernel
returning no data, but that would be a kernel bug, not worth complicating
the code to catch this. Calling mnl_cb_run2() on an empty buffer
is legal and results in STOP (1).

We never increment the group number iterator, so all groups
get recorded into index 0 of the mcast_groups[] array.
As a result YNL can only handle using the last group.
For example using the "netdev" sample on kernel with
page pool commands results in:
$ ./samples/netdev
YNL: Multicast group 'mgmt' not found
Most families have only one multicast group, so this hasn't
been noticed. Plus perhaps developers usually test the last
group which would have worked.

There is one common error handler in ynl - ynl_cb_error().
It expects priv to be a pointer to struct ynl_parse_arg AKA yarg.
To avoid potential crashes if we encounter a stray NLMSG_ERROR
always pass yarg as priv (or a struct which has it as the first
member).
ynl_cb_null() has a similar problem directly - it expects yarg
but priv passed by the caller is ys.
