ethtool: introduce ethtool netlink interface
Basic genetlink and init infrastructure for the netlink interface, register
genetlink family "ethtool". Add CONFIG_ETHTOOL_NETLINK Kconfig option to
make the build optional. Add initial overall interface description into
Documentation/networking/ethtool-netlink.rst, further patches will add more
detailed information.
