rtnetlink: add a way to set netlink flags in requests

3

There has been several PRs to add helper methods to set the flags in the netlink header, so it seems that this is something we should provide systematically. This PR...

message with type NLMSG_DONE can also have payload

``` [76, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 119, 180, 25, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 119, 180, 25, 0, 0,...

Motivation for this: I'd like to give #138 a shot (before moving #170 forward). The `metadata` field makes changes in that area rather unreadable, so I'd like to clean this...

netlink-proto: let the user handle non-solicitated message in a more flexible way

6

Currently, all unsolicited messages are sent to an unbounded channel. That's not always the best options. `netlink-proto` would be more flexible if the user was able to pass an async...

Allow access to Ack messages containing data

Avoid defining kernel dependent data structures.

No error on failure to parse TcOpts

4

If the TcOpts fail to parse in one of the qdiscs [here](https://github.com/little-dude/netlink/blob/master/rtnetlink/src/traffic_control/add_qdisc.rs#L190), the entire qdisc is skipped. I see the error being generated with the `.context()` [here](https://github.com/little-dude/netlink/blob/e8728b2f46eed6360307f6b1ada74f8723e40565/netlink-packet-utils/src/nla.rs#L55), but for some...
