API to issue direct GET requests to the kernel
Provide nl_pickup() to pick up an answer from a netlink request and parse
it using the supplied parser.
Add rtnl_link_get_kernel() which sends an RTM_GETLINK to the kernel to
fetch a single link directly from the kernel. This can be faster than
dumping the whole table, especially if lots of links are configured.
