Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 04/12] tools: ynl: let classic netlink requests specify extra nlflags

Classic netlink makes extensive use of flags. Support specifying
them the same way as attributes are specified (using a helper),
for example:

     rt_link_newlink_req_set_nlflags(req, NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_ECHO);

Wrap the code up in a RenderInfo predicate. I think that some
genetlink families may want this, too. It should be easy to
add a spec property later.
