[PATCH net-next 5/5] tools: ynl: cli: add --policy support

[Jakub Kicinski]

Add --policy flag which can be combined with --do or --dump to query
the kernel's netlink policy for an operation instead of executing it.

Examples:

  $ ynl --family netdev --do dev-get --policy
  {'ifindex': {'max-value': 4294967295, 'min-value': 1, 'type': 'u32'}}

  $ ynl --family ethtool --do channels-get --policy --output-json
  {"header": {"type": "nested", "policy": {"dev-index": ...}}}

  $ ynl --family netdev --dump dev-get --policy
  None
