Move the NETLINK define into opt_global.h so we can rely on it being
set correctly, without having to remember to include opt_netlink.h.
This ensures that the NETLINK define is correctly set. If not we
may end up with unloadable modules, due to missing symbols (such as
nlmsg_get_group_writer).

(cherry picked from commit ab393e9548f8cc0ee28499c411963b798ebb38a5)
This code was used by the first incarnation of wg(4) and is dead ever
since f187d6dfbf has removed the latter
again. Moreover, this code matched iflib(4) like a square peg fits in
a round hole, was incomplete and despite some hacks still tailored to
VPC and wg(4) but not generic. In effect, this reverts the following:

Reduce the default log level for netlink to LOG_INFO. This removes a
number of messages such as
> [nl_iface] dump_sa: unsupported family: 0, skipping
or
> [nl_iface] get_operstate_ether: error calling SIOCGIFMEDIA on vlan0: 22
that are useful for debugging, but not for most users.

Expect that drivers call into the network stack with the net epoch
entered. This has already been the fact since early 2020. The net
interrupts, that are marked with INTR_TYPE_NET, were entering epoch
since 511d1afb6b. For the taskqueues there is NET_TASK_INIT() and
all drivers that were known back in 2020 we marked with it in
6c3e93cb5a. However in e87c494015 we took conservative approach
and preferred to opt-in rather than opt-out for the epoch.
This change not only reverts e87c494015 but adds a safety belt to
avoid panicing with INVARIANTS if there is a missed driver. With
INVARIANTS we will run in_epoch() check, print a warning and enter
the net epoch. A driver that prints can be quickly fixed with the
IFF_NEEDSEPOCH flag, but better be augmented to properly enter the
epoch itself.
Note on TCP LRO: it is a backdoor to enter the TCP stack bypassing
some layers of net stack, ignoring either old IFF_KNOWSEPOCH or the
new IFF_NEEDSEPOCH. But the tcp_lro_flush_all() asserts the presence
of network epoch. Indeed, all NIC drivers that support LRO already
provide the epoch, either with help of INTR_TYPE_NET or just running
NET_EPOCH_ENTER() in their code.

Add the glue code to support netlink in Linuxolator.
linux_common(4) now depends on netlink(4).
All netlink protocol constants are consistent with the Linux version.
However, certain OS-specific constants such as AF_INET6, interface
flags or default routing table id, are different between FreeBSD and
Linux. Thus, it may be needed to rewrite some message parts or even
rewrite the whole message, adding or removing some TLVs. The core
netlink implementation code provides efficient rewriting callbacks
which Linuxolator now uses.
