Add the netlink YAML spec and auto-generated UAPI header for a unified
loopback interface covering MAC, PHY, and pluggable module components.

Each loopback point is described by a nested entry attribute
Is the nest actually needed ? if everything is under the nest, you might
as well just drop it and return all the attributes directly ?
Hmm, you're right! This is a leftover pre the dumpit change. GET/SET
never needs nesting. I'll fix that for the next round!

Thanks!
Björn
