WIP: [net][linux]: add netlink implementation for Linux connection stat

[shirou]

This PR introduces netlink support for Linux Connections. To use netlink, users should add build tag -tags=netlink

Thanks for sample code of @Brian-Williams in #695.

I choose build tag to change implementation. Because current implementation is enough for most of users, I think. Some of users want to use netlink to work with their big system. They must be their environment and they can compile binary by their own. so adding build tag is not so big problem, I think.

This is what only I think. There must be other objection. Comments are welcome as always.

Limitation for using netlink

• fd is always 0
  • to get fd becomes slow
• support Linux 3.3 or later only (inet_diag_req_v2 is required)
  • until that, inet_diag has not Protocol field

TODO

• benchmark

Note: this version of netlink does NOT return FD and ProcessID from inode

func BenchmarkGetConnectionsInet(b *testing.B) {
	b.ResetTimer()
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		Connections("inet")
	}
}
func BenchmarkGetConnectionsAll(b *testing.B) {
	b.ResetTimer()
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		Connections("all")
	}
}

So getting Pid and FD from inodes IS a bottleneck.

Yes, #784 was opened regarding this.

Awesome work you've done here btw, using a build tag is an original solution but is it optimal?

Hi! I followed this PR from #695. Thanks for working on adding this awesome feature! I just wanted to check and see if there is still plan to work on and merge this PR.
