Introduce support for attribute type bitfield32.
Note that since the generated code works with struct nla_bitfield32,
the generator adds netlink.h to the list of includes for userspace
headers in case any bitfield32 is present.
Note that this is added only to genetlink-legacy scheme as requested
by Jakub Kicinski.

I had a (bright?) idea of introducing the concept of enum-models
to account for all the weird ways families enumerate their messages.
I've never finished it because generating C code for each of them
is pretty daunting. But for languages which can use ID values directly
the support is simple enough, so clean this up a bit.
"unified" model is what I recommend going forward.
"directional" model is what ethtool uses.
"notify-split" is used by the proposed DPLL code, but we can just
make them use "unified", it hasn't been merged :)
