zebra: Add Generic Netlink socket
zebra already supports several Netlink sockets which allow it to
communicate with the kernel. Each Netlink socket has a specific purpose:
we have a socket for incoming events from the kernel, a socket for
programming the dataplane, a socket for the kernel messages, a socket
used as the command channel. All the currently supported sockets are
based on the `NETLINK_ROUTE` protocol.
This commit adds a new Netlink socket that allows zebra to send
commands to the kernel using the `Generic Netlink` protocol.
