tools: ynl: add unicast notification receive support
Add ntf_bind() method to YnlFamily for binding the netlink
socket without joining a multicast group. This enables receiving
unicast notifications through the existing poll_ntf/check_ntf
path.
The OVS packet family sends MISS and ACTION upcalls via
genlmsg_unicast() to a per-vport PID rather than through a
multicast group. The existing ntf_subscribe() couples bind()
with setsockopt(ADD_MEMBERSHIP), which does not fit the unicast
case. ntf_bind() provides the bind-only alternative, with the
address defaulting to (0, 0) but exposed as an explicit argument.
