docs: netlink: basic introduction to Netlink
Provide a bit of a brain dump of netlink related information as documentation. Hopefully this will be useful to people trying to navigate implementing YAML based parsing in languages we won't be able to help with. I started writing this doc while trying to figure out what it'd take to widen the applicability of YAML to good old rtnl, but the doc grew beyond that as it usually happens. In all honesty a lot of this information is new to me as I usually follow the "copy an existing example, drink to forget" process of writing netlink user space, so reviews will be much appreciated.
