Update ynl-gen-rst to generate hyperlinks to definitions, attribute
sets and sub-messages from all the places that reference them.
Note that there is a single label namespace for all of the kernel docs.
Hyperlinks within a single netlink doc need to be qualified by the
family name to avoid collisions.
The label format is 'family-type-name' which gives, for example,
'rt-link-attribute-set-link-attrs' as the link id.

The tables of contents in the generated Netlink docs include individual
attribute definitions. This can make the contents exceedingly long and
repeats a lot of what is on the rest of the pages. See for example:
https://docs.kernel.org/networking/netlink_spec/tc.html
Add a depth limit to the contents directive in generated .rst files to
limit the contents depth to 3 levels. This reduces the contents to:
- Family
- Summary
- Operations
- op-one
- op-two
- ...
- Definitions
- struct-one
- struct-two
- enum-one
- ...
- Attribute sets

recycling: 100.3% (alloc: 1392:2290247724 recycle: 469289484:1828235386)
Note that outstanding refs (89088) == slow alloc * cache size (1392 * 64)
which means this machine is recycling page pool pages perfectly, not
a single page has been released.
The extra 0.3% is because sample ignores allocations from the ptr_ring.
Treat those the same as alloc_fast, the ring vs cache alloc is
already captured accurately enough by recycling stats.

Most "production" netlink clients use large buffers to
make dump efficient, which means that handling of dump
continuation in the kernel is not very well tested.
Add an option for debugging / testing handling of dumps.
It enables printing of extra netlink-level debug and
lowers the recv() buffer size in one go. When used
without any argument (--dbg-small-recv) it picks
a very small default (4000), explicit size can be set,
too (--dbg-small-recv 5000).
Example:
$ ./cli.py [...] --dbg-small-recv
Recv: read 3712 bytes, 29 messages
nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19
[...]
nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19
Recv: read 3968 bytes, 31 messages
nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19
[...]
nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19
Recv: read 532 bytes, 5 messages
nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19
[...]
nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19
nl_len = 20 (4) nl_flags = 0x2 nl_type = 3
(the [...] are edits to shorten the commit message).
Note that the first message of the dump is sized conservatively
by the kernel.

In case of ynl_sock_read_family() we will no longer check for kernel
returning no data, but that would be a kernel bug, not worth complicating

Most families have only one multicast group, so this hasn't
