devlink: define enum for attr types of dynamic attributes
Devlink param and health reporter fmsg use attributes with dynamic type
which is determined according to a different type. Currently used values
are NLA_*. The problem is, they are not part of UAPI. They may change
which would cause a break.
To make this future safe, introduce a enum that shadows NLA_* values in
it and is part of UAPI.
Also, this allows to possibly carry types that are unrelated to NLA_*
values.
