Add devlink cli support for default param values.
For param-get, any default values provided by the kernel will be
displayed next to the current value. For param-set,
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_RESET_DEFAULT can be included in the request to
request that the parameter be reset to its default value.
Default values of type bool are encoded with a u8 by the kernel to
distinguish "false" from "not present".
