[NETLINK]: Improve string attribute validation

Browse Source 
Introduces a new attribute type NLA_NUL_STRING to support NUL
terminated strings. Attributes of this kind require to carry
a terminating NUL within the maximum specified in the policy.

The `old' NLA_STRING which is not required to be NUL terminated
is extended to provide means to specify a maximum length of the
string.

Aims at easing the pain with using nla_strlcpy() on temporary
buffers.
