nexthop: Add netlink defines and enumerators for resilient NH groups
- RTM_NEWNEXTHOP et.al. that handle resilient groups will have a new nested attribute, NHA_RES_GROUP, whose elements are attributes NHA_RES_GROUP_*. - RTM_NEWNEXTHOPBUCKET et.al. is a suite of new messages that will currently serve only for dumping of individual buckets of resilient next hop groups. For nexthop group buckets, these messages will carry a nested attribute NHA_RES_BUCKET, whose elements are attributes NHA_RES_BUCKET_*. There are several reasons why a new suite of messages is created for nexthop buckets instead of overloading the information on the existing RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}NEXTHOP messages. First, a nexthop group can contain a large number of nexthop buckets (4k is not unheard of). This imposes limits on the amount of information that can be encoded for each nexthop bucket given a netlink message is limited to 64k bytes. Second, while RTM_NEWNEXTHOPBUCKET is only used for notifications at this point, in the future it can be extended to provide user space with control over nexthop buckets configuration. - The new group type is NEXTHOP_GRP_TYPE_RES. Note that nexthop code is adjusted to bounce groups with that type for now.
