Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 04/12] tools: ynl-gen: refactor local vars for .attr_put() callers

Refactor the generation of local variables needed when building
requests, by moving the logic into the Type classes, and use the
same helper in all places where .attr_put() is called.

If any attributes requests identical local_vars, then they will
be deduplicated, attributes are assumed to only use their local
variables transiently.

This patch fixes the build errors below:
