Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/3] tools: ynl: correctly handle overrides of fields in subset

We stated in documentation [1] and previous discussions [2]
that the need for overriding fields in members of subsets
is anticipated. Implement it.

Since each attr is now a new object we need to make sure
that the modifications are propagated. Specifically C codegen
wants to annotate which attrs are used in requests and replies
to generate the right validation artifacts.

v2:
 - adjust C code gen in patch 1, it dependend on reusing attr objects
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250105012523.1722231-1-kuba@kernel.org
