ipv4: AF_INET link address family

Implements the AF_INET link address family exposing the per
device configuration settings via netlink using the attribute
IFLA_INET_CONF.

The format of IFLA_INET_CONF differs depending on the direction
the attribute is sent. The attribute sent by the kernel consists
of a u32 array, basically a 1:1 copy of in_device->cnf.data[].
The attribute expected by the kernel must consist of a sequence
of nested u32 attributes, each representing a change request,
e.g.
	[IFLA_INET_CONF] = {
		[IPV4_DEVCONF_FORWARDING] = 1,
		[IPV4_DEVCONF_NOXFRM] = 0,
	}
