There was a discussion about side effects of adding strings (bloat,
internationalization). Should ATTR_MSG be removed until that is
ironed out? Leaving it in suggests it is ok to start adding strings.

I really do want the strings; this is why I named the struct member
"_msg" and added the NL_SET_ERR_MSG() macro, that will easily allow
both making the strings optional with Kconfig (bloat) and collecting
them into a separate data section (translation).

Yep, this is a long range plan.
