Adds:
 nlmsg_get_pos()                 return current position in message
 nlmsg_trim()                    trim part of message
 nla_reserve_nohdr(skb, len)     reserve room for an attribute w/o hdr
 nla_put_nohdr(skb, len, data)   add attribute w/o hdr
 nla_find_nested()               find attribute in nested attributes

Fixes nlmsg_new() to take allocation flags and consider size.
