this series converts most of the MPTCP netlink interface (plus uAPI bits)
to use sources generated by a YAML spec file. Patch 2/6 and 6/6 have been
individually verified with kselftests.

POC:

 $ sudo  ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py  --spec \
 > Documentation/netlink/specs/mptcp.yaml --do add_addr \
 > --json '{"addr": {"addr4": 16909061, "family": 2, "flags": 4, "id": 10, "port": 0}}'

 $ ip -j mptcp endpoint show id 10
 [{"address":"1.2.3.5","id":10,"backup":true}]

v4:
- removed unwanted whitespaces, update MAINTAINERS (Matthieu Baerts)

v3:
- add missing 'static' keyword (MPTCP CI)
- fix element ordering for 'attr' attributes in patch 2,
  mptcp spec and generated C code (Paolo Abeni)
- removed extra newline, deuglified subjects in patch 2 and 4

v2:
- mptcp.yaml: only put values around enum "holes" (Paolo Abeni)
-  _doit and _dumpit renames are done in a dedicate patch (Paolo Abeni)
- removed useless nla_policy passed through parse_entry()  (Paolo Abeni)
- renamed mptcp_pm_address_nl_policy in patch 2 (Paolo Abeni)
- (hopefully) more comprehensible commit messages (Paolo Abeni)
