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 fixes a trivial signedness mismatch with struct genlmsghdr
Patch 2-5 add features to ynl
Patch 6 adds partial openvswitch specs that demonstrate the new features

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
