The C Binder driver exposes messages over netlink when transactions
fail, so that a userpace daemon can respond to processes with many
failing transactions.
This patch series adds netlink support from Rust, then implements an
equivalent API in Rust Binder.
As Binder only uses broadcast messages, I did not add support for other
kinds of messages.
