Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 0/7] ynl: add support for user headers and struct attrs

Add support for user headers and struct attrs to YNL. This patchset adds
features to ynl and add a partial spec for openvswitch that demonstrates
use of the features.

Patch 1-4 add features to ynl
Patch 5 adds partial openvswitch specs that demonstrate the new features
Patch 6-7 add documentation for legacy structs and for sub-type

v3 - v4:
 - Rebase to net-next after net-6.3-rc4 merge

v2 - v3: all requested by Jakub Kicinski
 - Drop genlmsg fix that was applied separately
 - Don't mention 'kernel' types, leave it to schema
 - Avoid passing fixed header around in python code
 - Use 'binary' with 'sub-type' for C arrays
 - Use 'binary' with 'struct' for C structs
 - Add docs for structs and sub-type

v1 - v2: all requested by Jakub Kicinski
 - Split ynl changes into separate patches
 - Rename user-header to fixed-header and improve description
 - Move fixed-header to operations section of spec
 - Introduce objects to represent struct config in nlspec
 - Use kebab-case throughout openvswitch specs
