tools: ynl: add Python API for easier access to policies
The format of Netlink policy dump is a bit curious with messages
in the same dump carrying both attrs and mapping info. Plus each
message carries a single piece of the puzzle the caller must then
reassemble.
I need to do this reassembly for a test, but I think it's generally
useful. So let's add proper support to YnlFamily to return more
user-friendly representation. See the various docs in the patch
for more details.
