Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next v2 1/4] libnetlink: Add rta_getattr_uint()

NLA_UINT attributes have a 4-byte payload if possible, and an 8-byte one if
necessary. Add a function to extract these. Since we need to dispatch on
length anyway, make the getter truly universal by supporting also u8 and
u16.

Notes:
    v2:
    - have rta_getattr_uint() support 8- and 16-bit quantities as well
