shill: Hide netlink sequence numbers and headers from users
Hide details of the netlink protocol from creators of nl80211 messages
to simplify the process of sending messages to the kernel. This changes
the process to send a message and set a callback from:
KernelBoundNlMessage message;
// ... populate message with fields
message.AddNetlinkHeader(&socket_, 0, NL_AUTO_SEQ, 0, 0, 0,
CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY, 0));
Config80211::GetInstance()->SendMessage(&message, callback);
to:
KernelBoundNlMessage message(CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY);
// ... populate message with fields
Config80211::GetInstance()->SendMessage(&message, callback);
