The notification handling in ynl is currently very simple, using sleep()
to wait a period of time and then handling all the buffered messages in
a single batch.

This patch adds async notification handling so that messages can be
processed as they are received. This makes it possible to use ynl as a
library that supplies notifications in a timely manner.

- Add poll_ntf() to be a generator that yields 1 notification at a
  time and blocks until a notification is available.
- Add a --duration parameter to the CLI, with --sleep as an alias.

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \
    --spec <SPEC> --subscribe <TOPIC> [ --duration <SECS> ]

Here is an example python snippet that shows how to use ynl as a library
for receiving notifications:

    ynl = YnlFamily(f"{dir}/rt_route.yaml")
    ynl.ntf_subscribe('rtnlgrp-ipv4-route')

    for event in ynl.poll_ntf():
        handle(event)
