Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] netlink: specs: update rt-rule src/dst attribute types to support IPv4 addresses

Similar with other rt-* family specs (rt-route, rt-addr, rt-neigh), change
src and dst attributes in rt-rule.yaml from type u32 to type binary with
display-hint ipv4 to properly support IPv4 address operations.
