Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] libnetlink: parse_rtattr_nested should allow
 NLA_F_NESTED flag

In kernel commit 8cb081746c03 ("netlink: make validation more configurable
for future strictness"), Linux started implicitly flagging nests with
NLA_F_NESTED, unless the nest is created with nla_nest_start_noflag(). Have
libnetlink catch up by admitting the flag in the attribute.
