Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next v2 0/7] dcb: Support APP, DCBX objects

Add support to the dcb tool for the following two DCB objects:

- APP, which allows configuration of traffic prioritization rules based on
  several possible packet headers.

- DCBX, which is a 1-byte bitfield of flags that configure whether the DCBX
  protocol is implemented in the device or in the host, and which version
  of the protocol should be used.

Patch #1 adds a new helper for finding a name of a given dsfield value.
This is useful for APP DSCP-to-priority rules, which can use human-readable
DSCP names.

Patches #2, #3 and #4 extend existing interfaces for, respectively, parsing
of the X:Y mappings, for setting a DCB object, and for getting a DCB
object.

In patch #5, support for the command line argument -N / --Numeric is
added. The APP tool later uses it to decide whether to format DSCP values
as human-readable strings or as plain numbers.

Patches #6 and #7 add the subtools themselves and their man pages.

v2:
- Two patches dropped and sent to iproute2 branch as "dcb: Fixes".
  This patch set now depends on that one.
- Patch #5:
    - Make it -N / --Numeric instead of -n / --no-nice-names
    - Rename the flag from no_nice_names to numeric as well
- Patch #6:
    - Adjust to s/no_nice_names/numeric/ from another patch.
